Document background
The End of Service Letter is a mandatory document under Nigerian employment law that employers must provide upon the conclusion of an employment relationship. It serves multiple purposes: confirming the duration and nature of employment, documenting the circumstances of separation, and providing a reference for future employment opportunities. The document is particularly important in the Nigerian context as it helps ensure compliance with local labor laws and provides employees with official documentation of their work history. The letter typically includes details about the employee's position, duration of service, reason for separation, and may also cover aspects such as conduct, performance, and final settlements. This document is crucial for both employers and employees as it provides legal protection and serves as an official record of employment history.
