Document background
The Employee Resignation Agreement is a crucial document used in Nigerian employment relationships when an employee voluntarily decides to terminate their employment. This document becomes necessary to formally document the separation process and protect both parties' interests under Nigerian law, particularly in compliance with the Labour Act and related employment legislation. The agreement typically comes into play when an employee submits their resignation and both parties wish to clearly document the terms of separation, including notice periods, final settlements, and ongoing obligations. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the formal end of employment, clarifying financial settlements, addressing confidentiality requirements, and establishing any post-employment obligations. The agreement is particularly important in professional settings where there may be sensitive information, significant handover requirements, or complex benefit arrangements to be addressed.
