Document background
The Farewell Letter to Employee is an essential document in Saudi Arabian business practice that formally marks the conclusion of an employment relationship. It serves as both a professional courtesy and a legal requirement under Saudi Labor Law, particularly Article 64 which mandates the provision of service certificates. This document should be prepared when an employee's service is ending due to resignation, retirement, or other forms of termination. The letter typically includes acknowledgment of service, final settlement details, and handover requirements, while maintaining a tone that aligns with Saudi business culture. A well-crafted Farewell Letter to Employee helps ensure compliance with local labor laws, provides necessary documentation for both parties, and facilitates a smooth transition while maintaining professional relationships.
