Document background
The End Of Fixed Term Contract Letter is a crucial document used in Canadian employment contexts when a predetermined employment period is coming to its natural conclusion. This document is typically used when an employment contract with a specific end date is approaching termination, and the employer wishes to formally confirm the arrangement's conclusion. It serves multiple purposes: confirming the end date, outlining final payment details, addressing benefit termination, requesting return of company property, and ensuring compliance with Canadian federal and provincial employment standards. The letter should be issued with sufficient notice before the contract's end date to meet legal requirements and allow for proper transition planning. It's particularly important in sectors where project-based or seasonal work is common, or where temporary positions are frequently used.
