The Without Prejudice Termination Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian employment law practice, used when an employer wishes to terminate employment while proposing a settlement package. It provides a protected framework for making settlement offers without prejudicing either party's legal position if negotiations fail. The document typically includes termination terms, settlement proposals, payment calculations, and conditions for acceptance, all while maintaining privileged status under Nigerian law. It's particularly useful in situations where there might be potential disputes or when offering enhanced termination packages above statutory requirements. The letter must comply with Nigerian Labour Act requirements while maintaining its 'without prejudice' protection under the Evidence Act 2011.
