Letter of dismissal for misconduct (payment in lieu anyway)

A letter of dismissal to an employee - serious misconduct by the Employee has led to immediate dismissal and termination of the contract of employment. It explains why payment in lieu of notice is provided, even though it is not required under contract. (Many employers choose this as the safest way out as the Employee is required to sign a statement saying (s)he understands that the Employer is not required to give it and by accepting it the Employee has undertaken not to seek further payment.) It lays out all the elements involved in the calculation of final payout.
