The Letter of Termination for Job Abandonment is a crucial document in South African employment practice, used when an employee has ceased attending work without authorization or communication. This document is essential for maintaining proper employment records and ensuring compliance with South African labour legislation, particularly the Labour Relations Act and the Code of Good Practice on Dismissals. The letter should be issued after reasonable attempts to contact the employee have been made and documented. It typically includes the last date of attendance, details of communication attempts, notice of termination, and information about final pay and company property. The document serves both as a formal notification of employment termination and as evidence of following proper procedures, which is crucial for defending against potential unfair dismissal claims.
