An Employment Separation Letter is an official notice from a business or organization to its employee that their employment is ending, either through termination, resignation, or retirement. This letter documents the details of the separation and serves as an important record for both employer and employee. The letter must provide clear instructions to the employee about how to complete their final tasks, such as returning company property, signing paperwork, and so on. It’s also a great way for employers to provide encouragement or positive words of farewell to departing employees.
