Document background
The Employment Separation Certificate is a mandatory document required under Pakistani employment law when an employment relationship ends. This certificate serves multiple purposes: it provides formal documentation of employment termination, helps employees seek future employment, and ensures compliance with local labor regulations. The document is required regardless of the nature of separation (resignation, termination, or retirement) and must be issued in accordance with the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968, and relevant provincial labor laws. It contains critical information including employment duration, position held, reason for separation, and confirmation of settlements, making it an essential document for both employers and employees in maintaining clear employment records and ensuring smooth transitions.
