Document background
A Separation Notice is a crucial employment document used in Nigerian business practice to formally document the termination of an employment relationship. This document must comply with Nigerian labor laws, particularly regarding notice periods and employee rights. The Separation Notice serves multiple purposes: it confirms the termination date, outlines final payments and benefits, addresses company property return, and documents any post-employment obligations. It should be issued when employment is terminated for any reason, including resignation, retirement, redundancy, or dismissal. The document provides legal protection for both parties and helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the separation terms. In the Nigerian context, where employment relationships are strictly regulated, a properly drafted Separation Notice is essential for risk management and regulatory compliance.
