Document background
The Employment Termination Agreement is a crucial document used in Belgium when formally ending an employment relationship, whether by mutual consent or unilateral decision. It must comply with Belgian employment law, including the Act of 3 July 1978 on Employment Contracts and relevant collective bargaining agreements. This document is essential for documenting the terms of separation, including notice periods, severance payments, and ongoing obligations. The agreement typically includes mandatory Belgian social documents such as the C4 form, covers tax implications of termination payments, and addresses specific requirements like outplacement services for eligible employees. It serves as a comprehensive record of the termination arrangements and helps prevent future disputes by clearly stating all terms and conditions of the employment termination.
