Document background
The 14 Day Termination Notice is a crucial document in South African employment law, designed to formalize the termination of employment while ensuring compliance with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. This notice is applicable when either an employer or employee wishes to terminate employment with the minimum statutory notice period of 14 days, typically used for employees who have been employed for six months or less. The document must include specific details such as the effective date of termination, final payment calculations, and property return requirements. It's essential in maintaining proper documentation of the employment termination process and protecting both parties' rights under South African labor law. The notice should be issued promptly to ensure the full 14-day notice period is observed and all legal requirements are met.
