Document background
The Employee End of Service Letter is a critical document in Canadian employment relations that serves as the formal written record of an employment relationship's conclusion. It is required whenever an employee leaves an organization, whether through voluntary resignation, retirement, or termination. The document must adhere to various Canadian federal and provincial employment standards, including the Canada Labour Code and provincial Employment Standards Acts. This letter typically includes essential information such as the termination date, final pay calculations, benefit termination details, and any continuing obligations. It serves multiple purposes: providing the employee with formal documentation of their employment end, protecting the employer's legal interests, and ensuring compliance with Canadian employment law requirements for proper termination documentation.
