Exit documents and office policies are often discussed informally, but a worker needs the operative terms and the responsible employer. Preserve written communications and distinguish a company-wide announcement from a condition in an individual offer or contract. This guide does not resolve an employment dispute; it helps organize the questions, identify the source that controls, and prepare a clear written request before a deadline or move. Use these prompts to identify the evidence and questions that matter in your situation.

Questions to work through
Check the signed offer and current policy for notice, leave, location, and any process needed at exit.
Ask HR to confirm the requested document, expected date, and any missing step in writing.
For a disputed statutory entitlement, use current official labour guidance or obtain qualified advice rather than relying on a social post.
