These explanations provide general information and do not replace an assessment of individual circumstances.
Short questions
Which distinction matters?
Date, stated reason and earlier correspondence matter. A document’s heading alone does not determine the entire legal assessment. Keeping a copy of the signed text and recording dates can help.
What can I share for an initial assessment?
Work period, job type, notice dates and a short list of records can help. Mention formal service or a recent termination at the outset.
Does this guidance establish the same outcome in every case?
No. This page explains general concepts. Documents, the countries involved and the sequence of events can change the assessment. A particular procedure or outcome requires consideration of the individual circumstances.
