What Is a Retirement Letter?

A Retirement Letter is a document that informs an employer about the retirement of their worker. This document must be completed by an employee and contain the specific date for their retirement, their achievements in a workplace, future plans, and an offer of assistance. A retirement resignation letter is not only an informative letter, but it usually contains an expression of a worker's gratitude and appreciation to a company and its employees for providing this person with extensive work experience.

Alternate Names:

• Retirement Notice Letter;
• Retirement Resignation Letter.

An employer should prepare a lot of documents for the retiring person on time. Therefore, according to the retirement policy, many organizations require their workers to submit a letter of retirement in advance. Usually, they have to do it one or two months before the expected retirement date. This document is a formal notice, and it should be completed as business correspondence. It is recommended to represent it as an actual letter instead of an email. For a full list of Retirement Letter templates please check out our library below.
