Termination of Employment Letter (Dismissal with Notice)：2026 模板

Before sending: use this letter only after a fair procedure — investigation, written invitation to a meeting with the right to be accompanied, a hearing and a decision. Unfair dismissal protection currently applies after two years' continuous employment (with many day-one exceptions, e.g. discrimination or whistleblowing); the Employment Rights Act 2025 is reducing this to six months — check the commencement date before relying on the qualifying period.
