Because North Carolina is an employment-at-will state, no termination letter is required of the employer. Employers do not need to give notice or a reason for the firing, and it can happen at any time the employer chooses.
State Laws Some states, including Arizona, California, Illinois and New Jersey, require employers to provide termination letters. In some cases, the content must follow a specific template. Some states may even provide a form that employers must complete and present to the terminated employee.
What information should be included? The names and contact information of both parties involved in the contract. The date when the contract was signed and its original duration. The reason for terminating the contract, if necessary. The specific date when the contract will end.
Give adequate notice of at least two weeks, or up to 30 days, when possible (ensuring you follow any notice provisions in your professional services agreement). Gently remind the contractor of any agreement terms regarding intellectual property and works made for hire.
North Carolina is an at-will employment state. No notice of termination is required absent a contractual obligation.
Create your statement of intent for contract cancellation. It's best to be as specific as possible, citing particular reasons or pertinent dates as appropriate. End with an end date. Explicitly state the date that you intend to halt the contract.
Communicate With Appreciation and Leave a Kind Impression As an example you could say, “Thank you so much for the fantastic work you've done for us. We no longer require (their service) at the moment, but when we do, you'll be the first one we'll call.”
Here is an example of a termination clause: “Party A and Party B have the right to terminate the Contract under material breach, change in circumstances, insolvency, and mutual agreement. To terminate the Contract, the terminating party must provide 30 days of written notice to the other party.
