Employee Relieving Letter

A relieving letter is a formal letter that is issued to an employee at the time of leaving an organization. It is a formal way of communicating to the employee that the resignation has been accepted. A relieving letter is required at the time of joining a new company.

Future employers can ask for relieving letters from the employee from previous organisations since it acts as a written statement of the fact that the employee left previous employment without issues.
