# Terminate an employment.

`PATCH /v2/providers/employers/employees/employments/{employmentId}/terminate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.loket.nl`
- URL: `https://api.loket.nl/v2/providers/employers/employees/employments/{employmentId}/terminate`
- Auth: none required

__Activity name :__  <a href="https://developer.loket.nl/Activities/PatchTerminateByEmploymentId" target="_blank">PatchTerminateByEmploymentId</a>

Terminate an employment. Effectively, the `endDate` of the employment will be set to the given date.<br/> Please note that setting the `endDate` for an employment affects multiple resources in Loket (e.g. wage, workingHours and absence). Note that the termination date is to be filled with the last day of employment.<br/>

If the termination needs to be reversed use the `../employments/{employmentId}/reinstate` endpoint. <br/> If the termination needs to be changed, use this endpoint to revise the termination data<br/>

The metadata for endOfEmploymentReason and endOfEmploymentReasonTaxAuthorities are included in the 'regular' metadata-endpoint of the Employment resource.

## Path parameters

- `employmentId` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, required
- `Accept` string, required

## Request body

- EmploymentTermination20181231
  - `endDate` string, date: The date on which the employment ends (=last day of the employment).
  - `endOfEmploymentReason` object: The reason for the end of the employment. __Note:__ as of 2020-01-01 `endOfEmploymentReasonTaxAuthorities` replaces this field as the main reason for the end of the employment. We say 'main reason' as in certain cases this field still has a purpose. Please set this field to 8 (Other) unless one of the following integrations is used for this employment * UPA-pensioenaangifte * Cordares * APG-pensioenaangifte * Achmea
    - `key` integer: The key for the reason for the end of the employment.
    - `value` string: The description of the reason for the end of the employment.
  - `endOfEmploymentDueToIllness` boolean: Indicates whether the reason for the termination of an employment is due to long-term illness. Mandatory if endDate is filled, else leave empty.
  - `createMdvEntry` boolean: Indicates whether an MDV-entry should automatically be generated (not sent) by Loket (Melding Dienstverband). This should typically only be used for Colland-related employments and if the module MDV is active for an employer, which means in most cases this indicator should be set to `false`. Next to that, a message is ONLY generated when the employment is actually terminated by performing this action (=the employment did not already have an endDate before calling this endpoint).
  - `endOfEmploymentReasonTaxAuthorities` object: The reason for the end of the employment as specified by the Dutch Tax authorties. __Note:__ This field replaces `endOfEmploymentReason` as of 2020-01-01. `endOfEmploymentReason` will remain as a field in the resource as several integration require this field still.
    - `key` integer: The key for the reason for the end of the employment.
    - `value` string: The description of the reason for the end of the employment.
