Termination letter

 

25th  Feb 2022

Private and confidential

Janice,

House no. 4, Dingo Street, QLD, Australia.

Dear Janice,

Termination of your employment

I am writing to you about the termination of your employment with Boutique build Australia.

 

On you met with Performance review meeting on 12-02-2022. In that meeting, you were advised that you must bring improvement and come on time to the office premises. You can office late regularly and this is against the policies and the operations of the organization.

You were issued a formal warning letter on 15-02-2022.

On 18-02-2022 you had a second meeting with the administrative manager and you were advised that your performance had not improved to the level required. You were issued with a second warning letter on 19-02-2022.

You also attended a meeting with the Human resource manager on 20-02-2022. In that meeting, you were issued a final warning letter. This letter indicated that your employment may be terminated if your performance did not improve by 22-02-2022.

We consider that your performance is still unsatisfactory and have decided to terminate your employment for the following reasons:

·     Because you come late to the office after so many warnings and warning letters.

·     Because of lack of efficiency in the operations.

Your employment will end immediately. Based on your length of service, your notice period is 4 weeks. In place of receiving that notice, you will be paid the sum of $2000.

You will also be paid your accrued entitlements and any outstanding payments, up to and including your last day of employment. This includes the balance of any time off instead of overtime accrued but not yet taken (paid at the overtime rate applicable when the overtime was worked), and superannuation.

If you have been paid annual leave in advance, any amount of annual leave still owing will be deducted from your final pay.

You may seek information about minimum terms and conditions of employment from the Fair Work Ombudsman. If you wish to contact them you can call 13 13 94 or visit their website at www.fairwork.gov.au.

Some termination payments may give rise to waiting periods for any applicable Centrelink payments. If you need to lodge a claim for payment you should contact Centrelink immediately to find out if there is a waiting period.

Yours sincerely

Will

Administrative manager.
