# Terminate an employment.

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

__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.
