Document background
The End of Service Letter is a fundamental document in Belgian employment law, required whenever an employment relationship is terminated, regardless of the reason for termination (resignation, dismissal, mutual agreement, or retirement). This document serves as an official record of employment termination and must be provided to the employee upon the conclusion of their service. It contains crucial information required by Belgian social security institutions and future employers, including employment duration, position details, and termination circumstances. The letter forms part of a larger documentation package that includes mandatory forms such as the C4 certificate, tax documents, and social security paperwork. Its format and content must comply with Belgian federal and regional regulations, including specific language requirements in different regions.
