Document background
The Final Exit Letter is a critical document in Pakistani employment practice that provides formal closure to an employment relationship. It is typically issued when an employee leaves an organization due to resignation, termination, or retirement. The document serves multiple purposes: it confirms the termination date, documents the settlement of all financial dues, acknowledges the return of company property, and includes mutual release clauses. In Pakistan, this document holds significant legal weight and must comply with various labor laws, including the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968, and relevant provincial labor regulations. The Final Exit Letter helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all aspects of the employment termination and final settlement, making it an essential tool for both employers and employees in managing employment separations.
