Document background
An Employee Deed of Release is a crucial document used in Pakistan when formally concluding an employment relationship through mutual agreement or as part of a negotiated exit. It operates within the framework of Pakistani employment law, including the Industrial Relations Act 2012, Contract Act 1872, and relevant provincial labor legislation. This document is typically used when both parties wish to achieve a clean break and prevent future disputes by documenting all settlement terms, including financial arrangements, confidentiality obligations, and mutual releases. It's particularly important in scenarios involving senior employees, sensitive positions, or where there's a need to document specific post-employment obligations. The deed provides legal certainty and protection for both employer and employee by clearly defining the terms of separation and preventing future claims.
