Termination Notice (Involuntary) (CA)

California

Involuntarily terminating someone's employment is difficult for everyone involved. A written termination notice is an official and professional way to document the separation between the employer and employee. Having this in writing is an easy way to answer many of the questions your terminated employee will have and will also help protect you and your business from liability.

This termination notice can be customized with the reason for termination, termination date, how the final paycheck will be delivered, and any continuation of benefits.

To safeguard against potential discriminatory, retaliatory, and/or wrongful termination, it's essential to uniformly apply the company's termination policies to all employees.

If you're unsure of your specific state requirements for involuntarily terminating an employee or if the reason for termination is not straightforward or involves complexities, consult an attorney or HR expert. Note that this letter is not intended for layoffs, position eliminations or employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
