Termination: Documents to be given to the employee

Verified 28 August 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

When the employee's contract of employment is terminated or when his contract of employment is terminated, the employer shall provide the employee with termination documents. The employer shall make available to the employee in company one work certificate, one balance of any account and one France-travail certificate. When must the employer make these documents available to the employee? We're doing an update on the regulations.

The employer must provide the employee with the following documents, irrespective of the method of termination or termination of the employment contract:

No. The employer does not have to send termination documents to the employee.

Termination documents are documents querable, i.e. the employer must make them available to the employee in the company.

The employer must make the termination documents available to the employee upon termination of the employment contract, that is, at the end of the notice even if the notice is not given.

FYI  

Where notice is not given, the employer shall can provide termination documents upon actual departure of the company employee.
