Document background
The Exit Letter From Employer is a mandatory document under Philippine employment law, issued when an employment relationship ends. It serves multiple purposes: confirming the duration and nature of employment, providing clearance status, and fulfilling legal requirements under the Philippine Labor Code and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) regulations. This document is crucial for employees seeking new employment, processing government benefits, or requiring proof of previous employment. The letter must contain specific information including employment dates, positions held, and clearance status, while optional elements such as performance evaluations or reason for separation may be included based on company policy and mutual agreement. It requires careful preparation to ensure compliance with Philippine labor laws while protecting both employer and employee interests.
