Document background
The Termination Of Contract Of Employment document is a essential legal instrument used in Belgian employment relationships when ending an employment contract. It must be drafted in accordance with Belgian employment law, particularly the Act of 3 July 1978 on Employment Contracts and Collective Labour Agreement No. 109. This document is required whenever an employment relationship is terminated, whether through employer initiative, mutual agreement, or for cause. It must include specific elements mandated by Belgian law, such as proper notice periods, termination justification, final payment calculations, and information about continuing obligations. The document serves as official record of the termination and outlines all rights and obligations of both parties during and after the notice period, including requirements for social documentation and potential outplacement services.
