Termination (E5)

Employee terminations (voluntary departures initiated by the employee) are reported to ERGANI using E5 forms. This package provides dedicated classes for each termination scenario.

E5N	`VoluntaryResignation`	`WebE5N`	Standard voluntary resignation
E5O	`ResignationNotification`	`WebE5O`	Notification of possible resignation (absent employee)
E5AO	`ResignationAfterNotification`	`WebE5AO`	Confirmed resignation after E5O

E5 vs E6: Key Difference

E5 (Termination): Employee-initiated departures - the employee decides to leave
E6 (Dismissal): Employer-initiated terminations - the employer ends the relationship
