Document background
The End Of Fixed Term Contract Letter is a crucial document in German employment practice, used when a fixed-term employment contract reaches its predetermined end date. It serves as formal written confirmation of the contract's termination and helps ensure compliance with German employment law, particularly the Part-Time and Fixed-Term Employment Act (TzBfG). This document should be issued well before the contract's end date to provide clear communication and maintain proper documentation. It typically includes essential information such as the termination date, final working day, and arrangements for outstanding matters like vacation days or company property. The letter helps protect both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting the end of the employment relationship and any final obligations or entitlements.
