Document background
The Certificate of Employment Termination (Surat Keterangan Pemberhentian Kerja) is a mandatory document under Indonesian employment law that must be issued when any employment relationship ends. This requirement stems from Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and its subsequent amendments, which establish strict guidelines for employment termination procedures. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides official proof of employment termination, confirms the fulfillment of all legal obligations including final payments, and can be used by the employee for future employment applications or unemployment benefits. It must be issued regardless of whether the termination is voluntary (resignation) or involuntary (dismissal), and requires careful attention to ensure compliance with Indonesian labor regulations, including proper calculations of severance pay and other entitlements where applicable.
