Document background
The Severance Negotiation Letter is a crucial document in Irish employment practice, typically used when an employer wishes to initiate or respond to discussions regarding the termination of employment with compensation beyond statutory minimums. It forms the foundation for negotiating a separation package that may include financial compensation, benefits continuation, and other terms. The document must comply with Irish employment law, including the Redundancy Payments Acts, Unfair Dismissals Acts, and relevant tax legislation. It is commonly used in situations involving redundancy, restructuring, or mutually agreed separations, particularly for senior employees or in sensitive termination situations. The letter should be carefully drafted to maintain professionalism while clearly outlining proposed terms and protecting both parties' interests.
