Document background
The Employee Separation Notice is a crucial document in Nigerian employment practice, required whenever an employment relationship is formally terminated, whether through resignation, retirement, or dismissal. This document must comply with the Nigerian Labour Act and related employment legislation, ensuring proper documentation of the separation process. It serves multiple purposes: providing formal notification of employment termination, documenting the terms of separation, outlining final payments and benefits, and establishing clear expectations for the transition period. The notice typically includes information about notice periods, final settlements, company property return, and confidentiality obligations. It's essential for risk management and maintaining clear records of employment termination in accordance with Nigerian law.
