The Self Termination Letter is a crucial document in South African employment relationships, used when an employee wishes to formally end their employment contract. This document must align with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, which requires different notice periods depending on length of service: one week for employees employed for six months or less, two weeks for those employed for more than six months but not more than one year, and four weeks for those employed for one year or more. The letter should include essential information such as the employee's details, position, intended last working day, and handover arrangements. It serves as a legal record of the employee's resignation and protects both parties' interests by clearly documenting the termination terms.
