FAQ
Why Should an Employer Write a Letter of Termination? Termination letters serve two main purposes: they help employers keep records of termination decisions, and they provide employees the clarity they need to start the transition to the next stage of their career.
New York law (New York Labor Laws, § 191) on final paychecks says that an employer must pay all unpaid wages no later than the regular payday for the period when the employee was fired.
Terminating is when one party declares the contract is at an end. Releasing the contract means both parties agree that it's over.
A release is an agreement not to sue; it waives your right to sue and company and "releases" your employer from legal liability for claims you may have against it.
A release is a legal document that records an employee's agreement to relinquish their right to make any future claims against their employer relating to their employment or the termination of their employment. A release is essentially a contract between the terminated employee and the employer.
A legal release is a legal instrument that acts to terminate any legal liability between the releasor and the releasee(s), signed by the releasor. A release may also be made orally in some circumstances.
Federally, and in most states, a termination letter is not legally required. In some states, currently including Arizona, California, Illinois and New Jersey, written termination notices are required by law. Some of these states have specific templates employers must use for the letter.
Yes, your employer can fire you without a reason. However, under New York laws, employers cannot fire people for illegal reasons. While New York is an at-will employment state, meaning employers do not have to provide a just cause, the laws still protect employees from unlawful termination.
A. Termination may end the contract, but it does not release the parties from liability (i.e. they still may sue each other). On the other hand, a release not only terminates the contract, but releases each party from any and all liability.
New York requires employers to provide a written termination letter to employees, regardless of whether the employee's termination was voluntary or involuntary. The letter must state the date of termination of employment, and the date of termination of benefits.
