Employers – Termination

If you terminate the services of an employee you must give him/her, a fully completed Termination of Services/Layoff Certificate, on the day that his/her services are terminated. 

You must send a copy of this certificate to the Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Office within a week of the date of the employee’s termination. You can obtain copies of the termination certificate at the National Insurance Office. If you don’t comply with this requirement, you’re guilty of an offence and liable to face penalties.

If you don’t comply with this requirement, you’re guilty of an offence and liable to face penalties.
