Document background
The Employee End of Service Letter is a crucial document in Irish employment practice, required whenever an employment relationship comes to an end, whether through resignation, redundancy, retirement, or other circumstances. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides formal confirmation of the employment termination, outlines final payments and benefits, addresses the return of company property, and ensures compliance with Irish employment legislation. The letter should be issued promptly following the notification of employment termination and must include specific details required by Irish law. It forms part of the employee's permanent record and may be required for future reference, unemployment benefits, or legal purposes. The document needs to be carefully drafted to ensure all statutory requirements are met while maintaining professional standards and protecting both employer and employee interests.
