What is a relieving letter?
A relieving letter is a formal document an employer gives a departing employee, confirming their last working day and that they have been released from their duties. It serves as proof of a clean exit that the employee can present to a future employer.
What should a relieving letter include?
A relieving letter should state the employee's name and role, the date of resignation, and the confirmed last working day. It should note that the employee is relieved of duties and, where appropriate, acknowledge their service. The company's signature and date make it official.
What is the difference between a relieving letter and an experience letter?
A relieving letter confirms the end of employment and the last working day, formally releasing the employee. An experience letter details the role, tenure, and responsibilities for future reference. One marks the exit while the other documents the work history; some employers provide both on departure.
