A Long Term Sickness Dismissal Letter is a crucial document used when terminating employment due to prolonged illness or medical incapacity in England and Wales. It should be used only after following proper procedures, including obtaining medical evidence, considering reasonable adjustments, and conducting consultation meetings. The letter must demonstrate compliance with UK employment law, particularly regarding disability discrimination and fair dismissal procedures. It serves as a formal record of the decision and protects both employer and employee by clearly documenting the process followed and rights available.
