Document background
The Termination Letter After Investigation is a crucial document in South African employment law that formally concludes an employment relationship following a workplace investigation. It is used when an employer has conducted a formal investigation into employee misconduct, poor performance, or other workplace issues that warrant termination. The document must demonstrate compliance with South African labor legislation, particularly regarding fair dismissal procedures outlined in the Labour Relations Act. The letter should include clear references to the investigation process, findings, legal grounds for termination, and all relevant termination terms. This document is essential for protecting both employer and employee rights, providing clear documentation of the termination decision, and ensuring the process meets all legal requirements for procedural and substantive fairness.
