Document background
The Termination Of Contract Form is a crucial document used in Belgian employment relationships to formally document and execute the end of an employment contract. This document is essential when either party wishes to terminate the employment relationship, whether through resignation, dismissal, or mutual agreement. It must comply with strict Belgian legal requirements, including those set forth in the Act of 3 July 1978 on Employment Contracts and various Collective Bargaining Agreements. The form includes mandatory provisions regarding notice periods, severance pay calculations, and specific protections for certain categories of workers. It also addresses the return of company property, final payment calculations, and ongoing obligations such as confidentiality. This document is particularly important given Belgium's complex employment law framework and the potential legal consequences of improper termination procedures.
