Document background
The Downsizing Termination Letter is a crucial document used when companies in Singapore need to reduce their workforce due to economic conditions, restructuring, or organizational changes. It must comply with Singapore's Employment Act, Tripartite Guidelines on Managing Excess Manpower, and relevant MOM regulations. The letter serves as official documentation of the termination, protecting both employer and employee interests by clearly stating termination terms, benefits, and obligations. It should be used when companies have followed proper selection criteria and consultation processes, and must include specific information required by Singapore law.
