End of Employment Contract

An employee’s contract can end in several different ways, and each has its own set of rules and considerations to ensure it goes smoothly.

Some relationships just aren’t meant to be, and the same goes for your relationships with your employees. Whether an employee resigns, is made redundant, or is dismissed, you’ll most likely have to deal with an employment contract ending. Dismissals and redundancies are the most likely to cause issues, and to avoid an unfair dismissal, you need to make sure you’re dealing with it in a legally compliant and transparent way.

If you need to hear more about the end of an employment contract, give our helpful team a call on 0808 501 6651.
