Ending an employment contract

Employment can end for lots of different reasons. The employee may resign, you may dismiss or fire them, or you may mutually agree to end their employment. Whoever decides, your employee must leave your workplace as soon as the employment contract finishes.

If you have made the decision to end an employment contract, you need to follow the rules about dismissal, notice and final pay. There are also different rights and obligations when a job is made redundant or, worst case, a business goes bankrupt.

Check with your adviser early to lower your chances of being accused of unfair or unlawful dismissal.

Employsure advisers can help you with ending an employment contract legally. For peace of mind, please call our 24 hour Advice Line now on 1300 651 415.
