German term or phrase: abschließend abgerechnet
Aus einem Kündigungsschreiben für einen Arbeitnehmer:

Das Arbeitsverhältnis wird durch uns unverzüglich zum 30.4.2006 ***abschließend abgerechnet werden***. Etwaige Resturlaubsansprüche oder bereits zu viel genommener Urlaub werden in der Abrechnung berücksichtigt werden.

Can I write "The employment relationship will be finally settled immediately as of 30 April 2006?"

final settlement
Explanation:
I'd probably word it a bit differently, i.e. change the verb to a noun, but I think you've got the gist. Here's my rendition:

"We shall effect the final settlement of the employment relationship by 30 April 2006."

In this particular case, I ignored "unverzüglich" because the exact date is given, i.e. it doesn't really matter whether they do it quickly or not, as long as it is doen by the 30th.

If you feel uncomfortable about leaving that off, I would recommend using something like "quickly" or "without delay" - I feel that using "immediately" as a translation for "unverzüglich" would be going too far.

Okay, I looked at it again and my addition of "we" might also be going too far (it depends on the context) - it's just that I prefer active sentences. A passive sentence would probably work too:

"The final settlement of the employment (relationship) shall be effected without delay by 30 April 2006."

BTW - If you don't like "(to) effect," you could also use "carried out," "completed" or even "done."
