The Redundancy Notice Letter is a crucial document in South African employment law, used when an employer needs to terminate employment due to operational requirements such as economic, technological, structural, or similar needs. This document must comply with Section 189 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 and other relevant employment legislation. It is issued following a formal consultation process and must include specific information about the redundancy decision, notice periods, severance payments, and other entitlements. The letter serves as both a legal record and a formal communication tool, typically used during company restructuring, downsizing, or when positions become redundant due to technological or operational changes. It must be drafted with careful attention to legal requirements while maintaining clear communication and demonstrating consideration for the affected employee.
