Document background
The End of Service Letter to Employee is a crucial document in Canadian employment law that formally documents the conclusion of an employment relationship. It is typically issued when an employee's service with a company ends, whether through resignation, termination, retirement, or mutual agreement. The letter must align with the Canada Labour Code for federally regulated industries or relevant provincial employment standards legislation. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the official end date of employment, detailing final compensation calculations, addressing benefit terminations or extensions, confirming the return of company property, and providing information about the Record of Employment. This document is essential for both legal compliance and maintaining clear records of the employment relationship's conclusion, while also providing the employee with necessary information for their transition and future employment.
