Document background
The Going Away Letter serves as a crucial document in the employment termination process under English and Welsh law. It is typically used when an employee is leaving an organization, whether through resignation, retirement, or mutual agreement. The letter formally documents the departure arrangements, including the last working day, final payment details, company property returns, and any continuing obligations. This document helps protect both parties' interests and ensures compliance with UK employment legislation, particularly the Employment Rights Act 1996 and related regulations.
