Document background
The End of Contract Notice is a crucial document in Pakistani employment practice, used when a fixed-term employment contract reaches its natural conclusion. It serves as formal communication between employer and employee, typically issued in accordance with the notice period specified in the original employment contract and compliant with the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance 1968. This document is essential for proper employment termination documentation, protecting both employer and employee interests by clearly stating the end date, final settlement terms, and post-employment obligations. It should be issued with sufficient notice as per Pakistani employment law, usually ranging from one to three months depending on the employee's position and contract terms.
