Dear [Recipient first name],

Termination of Employment – Failure to Provide Proof of Right to Work

Further to our previous correspondence dated [insert date(s)], we are writing to confirm the termination of your employment with [organisation name], effective immediately, due to your failure to provide satisfactory proof of your right to work in the United Kingdom.

As outlined in your [offer letter/contract of employment], your employment was conditional upon demonstrating your legal eligibility to work in the UK. Despite our repeated requests on [list dates of reminders], you have not provided the necessary documentation required under UK legislation.

We are obligated to comply with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, which prohibits the employment of individuals without the appropriate right-to-work documentation. Unfortunately, your inability to provide valid evidence means we cannot lawfully continue your employment.

Your final pay, including any accrued but unused holiday entitlement up to [termination date], will be processed and paid in line with our usual payroll schedule. A detailed breakdown of this payment will be included in your final payslip.

Please ensure that any company property in your possession, including [specific items, e.g., ID badge, keys, uniform], is returned to [insert contact/department] by [insert date]. Failure to do so may result in deductions from your final salary, in line with company policy.

If you have any questions regarding this decision, please contact [insert contact person/department and contact details].

We regret that this situation has arisen and wish you the best in your future endeavours.

Yours [faithfully | sincerely],
