Employee Certificate of Service in Zimbabwe

Generally, all Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) establishing a National Employment Council (NEC) in Zimbabwe have a provision for a Record of Service. In Zimbabwe, unlike in South Africa whereupon the termination of employment an employee is furnished with a Certificate of Service, in Zimbabwe, an employee is furnished with a Record of Service. 

A Record of Service is merely a document which sets out information by an employer that an employee resigned, was retrenched, was dismissed or that the parties parted by mutual termination. It further serves as proof of their employment. It however is not a Reference Letter or Letter of Recommendation. It is merely a document which sets out the record of duration of the employment and the employees’ position or role during such time he or she was employed by the employer.
