Document background
A Farewell Letter To A Person Who Is Leaving Employment is a standard business document commonly used across Canadian organizations to formally document an employee's departure. The letter serves as both a professional courtesy and a potential record of the employment relationship's conclusion. It should comply with Canadian employment standards and privacy legislation while maintaining a positive, professional tone. This document is typically issued near the end of the employment period and may be used in conjunction with other departure documentation. It can range from a simple expression of appreciation to a more detailed communication including specific arrangements for knowledge transfer, final payments, or benefit continuations. The letter often becomes part of the employee's personnel file and may be referenced for future employment verifications or recommendations.
