The Discontinuance of Service Letter is a crucial document in Saudi Arabian employment relations, required whenever an employment relationship is terminated, whether through resignation, retirement, or employer-initiated termination. This document must be prepared in accordance with the Saudi Labor Law and related regulations, ensuring proper documentation of the employment termination process. It includes essential information such as the effective date of termination, final settlement details, end-of-service benefits calculation, and any continuing obligations. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notification to the employee, serves as documentation for government authorities, and helps ensure compliance with local labor regulations. For expatriate employees, it may also be required for visa-related procedures.
