Document background
The End of Service Letter To Employee is a crucial document in Irish employment practice, typically issued when an employee's service with a company is coming to an end, whether through resignation, retirement, redundancy, or other forms of termination. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides formal confirmation of the employment's conclusion, details any outstanding payments or benefits, confirms the return of company property, and serves as an official record for future reference. Under Irish employment law, while there is no statutory requirement to provide such a letter, it is considered best practice and helps ensure compliance with various employment legislation, including the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts and the Payment of Wages Act. The letter also helps protect both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting the terms of the employment's conclusion.
