# The work certificate

Every departure owes the person the work certificate. Article 67 of Law 90-11 requires
it whatever the reason for leaving, and says what it holds — the hire date, the last day, and every
post the person held with the period they held it. The next employer will read it, which is why it
says nothing more.

This page starts once the departure is on the register. Recording it — the last day and the reason
— is [When someone leaves](employees.html#when-someone-leaves) on the Employees page. What the
departure is owed in money is its [final pay](../payroll/final-pay.html), in Payroll.

## Print the work certificate

1. Open the person's record. Their status reads **Left**.
2. Open **More actions** and choose **Print work certificate**, or **Download work certificate**
   for a file, and choose the language. While the person is employed it is greyed out, beside the
   employment attestation they can have instead.

The certificate carries:

- your organization's letterhead, from the organization profile;
- the person's name, employee number, and date and place of birth where you have them;
- the **hire date** and the **date the employment ended**;
- a table of the **job titles held**, each with its period — *1 September 2024 to 31 December
  2025*, then the next;
- the place and date it was issued, and a space for your signature and stamp.

It deliberately leaves out the **reason for leaving** and any **salary**. The law asks for neither,
and a cause printed on a letter the next employer reads would be a reference nobody asked for.

While the person is still employed, the same button prints their
[employment attestation](contracts.html#print-an-employment-attestation) instead. The two letters
never apply at the same time.

### When Beelocity refuses because a day has no job title

The certificate has to list a post for every day of the employment. If a day has none — somebody
was put on the register without a job title, or an earlier title was never entered — Beelocity
refuses and names the first day that is missing. Open the person's **Job titles held** tab, add the
title they held from that day, and print again. See
[The job titles someone has held](employees.html#job-titles-held).

### Somebody who left and came back

The certificate covers the person's latest employment: from the hire date of their latest return to
the day they last left.
