Receipt for termination of employee contract

Optimize HR management with key procedures and policies

When terminating employment, employers are strongly advised to obtain the signature of an end-of-employment receipt by the employee before he or she leaves the company. This document is essential to formalize the end of the employment relationship and avoid potential disputes.
Signing such a document serves to protect the employer against any possible action by the employee. The employer must also countersign the document to guarantee its validity and legal recognition.
Note that the receipt constitutes a transaction within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec, made without prejudice and without admission of liability or fault on the part of the employer. This means that the document formalizes the closure of the dispute without any admission of guilt.
Under the terms of the receipt-quittance, the employee undertakes to respect his or her obligations of loyalty and confidentiality towards the employer. By signing this document, the employee also confirms that he has received all amounts due to him in connection with his employment and the termination thereof, while undertaking not to divulge any confidential information.
Our receipt-quittance is designed to suit all situations where an employer terminates an employee's employment. It can also be used when an employee leaves voluntarily, offering complete legal protection for the employer.
