How to get a separation notice from a job

The first step in this situation is to review your employee handbook. Sometimes these documents will have guidelines or procedures on how you can request a separation notice from your employer.

• Contact your previous job

The next step you can try to take is to contact your former employer directly and request a separation notice. This might entail you reaching out to your previous company's HR department or a specific representative that can assist you with this situation. Just make sure you provide them with the correct contact information.

• Follow up, if necessary

If your previous employer does not respond to your request promptly (within a few days), then you may want to follow up to see if your request was verified and is being processed.

• Review the separation notice

It is important to review the document once you receive it from your previous employer. Check it carefully to make sure that all of the information is correct and complete.

• Make a copy to keep for your own records

You should also make a copy of the separation notice for your own records, especially if this document is needed for any legal proceedings. You might also consider doing this for future employment scenarios, so make sure you keep the separation notice in a safe filing place.
