Document background
The End of Contract Letter is a critical document used in Canadian employment contexts to formally conclude an employment relationship. It is typically issued when a fixed-term contract reaches its natural conclusion, when an employee resigns, or when employment is terminated. The document must comply with Canadian federal labor laws and relevant provincial employment standards legislation, ensuring all legal requirements for notice periods, final payments, and statutory entitlements are met. This letter serves multiple purposes: it confirms the termination details in writing, outlines final payment arrangements, addresses company property return, explains benefits cessation, and reminds the employee of any continuing obligations. It's an essential tool for maintaining clear records and preventing future disputes while ensuring a professional conclusion to the employment relationship.
