The Separation From Work Certificate is a vital document required under Philippine employment law that must be issued upon the conclusion of any employment relationship. This certificate serves multiple purposes: it provides official documentation of employment history, confirms the nature of separation (whether voluntary or involuntary), and often includes details about the employee's conduct and performance. The document is governed by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) regulations and the Labor Code of the Philippines, which mandate specific information to be included. It's essential for employees seeking new employment, applying for benefits, or maintaining their employment records. The certificate must be issued regardless of the reason for separation, whether it's resignation, termination, retirement, or redundancy.
