Document background
The Exit Letter To Employee is a crucial document in New Zealand employment practice, used when an employee's employment is ending, whether through resignation, termination, or mutual agreement. This document ensures compliance with New Zealand employment law, particularly the Employment Relations Act 2000, while providing clear documentation of the termination process. It typically follows verbal discussions or formal notice of termination and serves to confirm key details such as the final working day, notice period arrangements, and outstanding entitlements. The letter should be issued promptly after the termination decision is made and must align with the employment agreement and New Zealand employment legislation. It serves both as a formal record and as a practical guide for both parties during the transition period.
