Subject: Ending of your employment as Production supervisor
Dear Thomas Baker,
I am writing to confirm that your employment with Northfield Manufacturing Ltd as Production supervisor will end. This letter sets out the reason, when your employment ends, what you will be paid, what you need to return and what happens next. Please read it with care and keep it.
We met on 14 October 2026 to discuss the proposal, and you were able to bring a colleague or representative.
Your employment started on 3 March 2019.
Notice and your last day of employment
Your last day of employment will be 30 November 2026.
You will work your notice from 1 October to 30 November 2026
Payment in place of 8 weeks of notice, equal to EUR 9,600 before tax, paid with your final salary.
The reason
We are giving you the reason in writing so that you know it, whether or not we are required to.
The night shift at the Northfield plant is closing, and your position is no longer needed.
This is the reason for the decision.
This reason is based on facts that we have discussed with you.
We looked at moving you to the day shift or to the warehouse team, and no suitable role is open at present. If you know of another option, please tell us when we meet or in writing, and we will consider it before the decision is final where the law or your contract allows.
Final pay and benefits
You will be paid the following, with the deductions that the law requires.
Your salary up to 30 November, 12 days of unused leave, and severance of 8 weeks' pay will be paid on 5 December 2026.
You have 12 days of unused holiday. We will pay these with your final salary, or you may take them before your last day if you tell us by 15 November 2026.
Health cover ends on 30 November. HR will send details about your pension.
Your final payslip will show how each amount was worked out. If you think an amount is wrong, please tell us as soon as you can and we will check it.
Any money you owe the company, such as an advance or a loan, will only be deducted where the law and your contract allow, and we will tell you before we do it. Your pension, health cover or other benefits will be dealt with as the plans and the law provide, and the details are above or will be sent separately by the provider.
Company property
Please return the following: Laptop, phone, building pass and keys, by 30 November.
Please return it by 30 November 2026.
Please also remove your personal items and return any company files, documents and accounts. Do not keep copies of company information on your own devices or accounts. If you cannot return something in person, tell us, and we will arrange a collection.
Reference
We will give a written reference that confirms your job title, your dates of employment and, if you ask, a short description of your work.
Duties that continue after you leave
The confidentiality and non-compete duties in clause 14 of your contract continue for 12 months.
Your duties of confidentiality continue after you leave, as set out in your contract and as the law requires. Please do not use or share company or client information after your last day.
Your right to be heard or to appeal
If you disagree with this decision, you may ask for it to be reviewed by writing to the Managing Director within 10 working days of receiving this letter.
You may also have rights under the law where you work, for example the right to challenge the decision, to receive more information about the reason, or to bring a claim within a set time. Some of these have short deadlines. We encourage you to check what applies, and you may wish to ask a lawyer, a trade union or a local labour authority for advice.
