Dear Ann
It is with regret that I write to confirm that for commercial reasons your position within the company is being made redundant.
As per your terms and conditions of employment, you are eligible for 4 weeks notice and any oustanding holiday entitlement. Your final day of employment with the company will be Friday 24th September 2001.
Your holiday entitlement for 2001 is xx days, of which you have taken x. Therefore your final salary will include xx days of outstanding holidays.
Your terms and conditions of employment will remain in force throughout the notice period and we would expect you to continue with your duties in a professional mannter. The company will treat positively any request for time-off to attend interviews etc. All time off must be agreed with myself and/or the COO, in advance.
I would like you to understand that this decision has not been taken lightly, however, we have to react to unfavourable market conditions, and as such, have no option other than to reduce the size of the company by a significant margin.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for all your contributions whilst at the company and I wish you the very best of luck for the future.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the HR Manager or myself.
Yours sincerely,
Chief Operating Officer
For and on behalf of the company.
