Fixed-Term Contract Termination (E7)

The E7N form is used to report the termination of fixed-term employment contracts. This is distinct from E5 (employee-initiated terminations) and E6 (employer-initiated dismissals) — E7 handles cases where a fixed-term contract naturally expires or is terminated early.

Overview

Property	Value
Document Class	`FixedTermTermination`
Action Code	`WebE7N`
Declaration Model	`FixedTermTerminationDeclaration`
Use Case	Fixed-term or project-based contract endings

When to Use E7N

Use E7N when:

A fixed-term contract reaches its natural end date
A project-based contract completes
A fixed-term contract is terminated early by either party
Both parties mutually agree to end a fixed-term contract early

Employment Type Restriction

E7N only accepts fixed-term (1) or project-based (2) contracts. It does not accept indefinite-term contracts (0). For indefinite contracts, use E5 or E6 forms instead.

Key Differences from E5/E6

Feature	E7N	E5/E6
Contract Type	Fixed-term/Project only	Any type
Uses	`f_apolysisdate`	E5: `f_apoxwrisidate`, E6: `f_apolysisdate`
Signed Form	Not required (`f_file`)	Usually required
Termination Reason	Required (enum)	Type-specific

    // Attach foreign national documentation
    ->setForeignFile(base64_encode(file_get_contents('foreign_worker.pdf')));

Response Handling

php

$response = (new FixedTermTermination())->handle($declaration);

foreach ($response as $result) {
    echo $result->id;              // Unique submission ID
    echo $result->protocol;        // Protocol number (e.g., 'Ε7Ν123')
    echo $result->submissionDate->format('d/m/Y H:i:s');
}

Retrieve PDF

After a successful submission, retrieve the official PDF document:

php

$pdfBase64 = (new FixedTermTermination())->pdf(
    $response[0]->protocol,
    $response[0]->submissionDate
);

// Save to file
file_put_contents('fixed-term-termination.pdf', base64_decode($pdfBase64));

Files

E7N supports optional documentation files:

Method	API Field	Description
`setForeignFile()`	`f_foreign_file`	Foreign national documentation (Base64 PDF)
`setYoungFile()`	`f_young_file`	Minor worker documentation (Base64 PDF)

No Signed Form Required

Unlike E5 and E6 forms, E7N does not require a signed termination form (f_file). Only the foreign/young worker files are supported.

Best Practices

Match Dates: For natural expiration, ensure terminationDate equals contractEndDate.
Early Termination: When ending early, set terminationDate before contractEndDate and choose the appropriate reason.
Compensation Clause: Document whether Article 40 applies before submission.
Project Work: For project-based contracts, the actual completion date may differ from the estimated end.
Foreign Nationals: Include visa/permit documentation when applicable.

Important Notes

Employment Type: Only fixed-term (1) or project (2) — never indefinite (0).
No Signed Form: E7N doesn't require f_file unlike other termination forms.
Reason Required: Always specify the termination reason from the enum.
Article 40 Clause: Set compensation clause flag if severance rules apply.
Seasonal Workers: Foreign seasonal workers need visa documentation.
