Dear EMPLOYEE NAME,
As you probably know, the Coronavirus pandemic has posed great challenges to our business operations. The many financial problems that have arisen as a result of this pandemic have led us to carefully review the position of [COMPANYX] on the market.
In addition to other efforts that will be made to reduce our operating costs in the short term, we believe that a smaller workforce is a step towards a viable business in this uncertain economic climate. That is why we are announcing our new voluntary layoff program.

-
Continued payment of wages at (list pct)% of your usual wages for a period of [number] weeks after the end of your employment.
-
Continued enrollment in our group benefit plan for a period of [X] months.
-
A one-time cash payment of $(list amount), payable only to non-returning employees.
This dismissal package is available from [date] for all full-time employees. If you are interested in voluntary redundancy, please contact your HR representative or a member of the management team.
[NAME YOUR COMPANY] appreciates your service.
Regards,
LIST NAME AND POSITION
