Request for Relieving Letter and Full and Final Settlement

A request for a relieving letter and full and final settlement is a letter written to request a job relieving letter and payment of final salary. You may need to request a job relieving letter and a settlement of your remaining salary when you resign from a job. If your employer does not give you a job relieving letter on your last day of work, write a request letter for this essential document. If your employer does not arrange for a full and final settlement of your salary, you should request this as well.

In countries where you can legally work only one job at a time, you must be able to prove you have resigned from your previous position to obtain another job. You need to provide a job relieving letter (experience letter) to your new employer as soon as possible. This document states your last date of work for your previous employer. It also proves that you have completed your duties.

When you write to your previous employer, include the information they need to quickly respond to your request. Here is what your request letter should contain:

• Your name, address, and contact information
• The recipient’s name, position title, and address
• A subject line: Job relieving letter and full and final settlement
