Employee exits generate more paperwork than most businesses prepare for

When someone resigns, attention goes to handover and backfilling. The documentation side tends to happen at the last minute. Occasionally it does not happen at all. That creates two problems: the departing employee cannot join their next company without a relieving letter, and the company ends up with an incomplete exit record that becomes difficult to reconstruct later.

Indian labour law sets specific timelines here. Final salary must be settled within 45 days of the last working day. Gratuity, for eligible employees, must be paid within 30 days. These are not aspirational deadlines. Delays attract interest and, in some cases, legal exposure. The paperwork should move at the same pace as the financial settlement.

Offrd's separation letter feature covers the documentation side of exits. It sits alongside offer letters, onboarding, and payslips in the same dashboard. You are not switching between tools to close out a departing employee's record.

What Offrd generates for employee exits

Resignation acceptance letter

Formally acknowledge the resignation in writing, confirm the last working day, and initiate the exit process with a proper written record.

Relieving letter

Issued on the last working day. Confirms the employee has been released from duties and all dues between both parties are settled.

Experience letter

Certifies the duration of employment, the role held, and a summary of performance. Required by most new employers before a hire can join.

Linked to F&F settlement

Separation documents on Offrd are part of the same workflow as Full and Final settlement, keeping exit paperwork and financial settlement in the same record.

Stored in the employee record

All separation documents sit in the employee's history on Offrd alongside their onboarding, payslip, and other documents from their tenure.

What the Labour Codes 2025 changed for exit documentation

The Labour Codes effective from November 2025 made appointment letters mandatory under the Code on Social Security. Fixed-term workers now qualify for gratuity after one year of continuous service rather than five. Both changes tightened the expectation around written documentation at every stage of employment, including exit.

Relieving letters and experience letters are not specifically named in the codes, but they are practically necessary. Without them, departing employees cannot join new employers and may face delays with banks or visa applications. Issuing them on time is the minimum standard of a functioning exit process.
