Départ

Non-PRO French to English Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters attestation de travail
Hi,

I would lke to know the correct way to say this in a formal "attestation de travail", where I have on the top left: "entré en fonction" and on the left "Départ" I have put "departure but it doesn't sound right, maybe "leaving date"??

Thank you in advance

Ahaaa.... OK I get it.

AllegroTrans It is a formal attestation de travail, and it enumerates the tasks performed by the employee from such and such a date and his qualities ( a lot ), it was ironic (the love letter) as this person was excellent in what he did...
AllegroTrans Jul 30, 2012:
??? loulou but you said it was a formal attestation de trevail! I think you need to give us surrounding text now, as I for one cannot envisage what you mean.
Louisa Tchaicha (asker) Jul 30, 2012:
@Nikki Believe me, this "certificat de travail" is closer to a love letter....than a neutral certificate type of document :)))
please put enter your suggestion/s
Thank you

On an "Attestation de travail", whether for the ASSEDIC, other organisms or simply for the ex-employee (in which case it is usually described as a "Certificat de travail"), the important thing is to be as clear, neutral and unequivocal as possible.
Louisa Tchaicha (asker) Jul 29, 2012:
@Nikki I put "took up position" and then put...departure :))
Start date and Leaving date is nice and simple, I just wanted it to sound more formal :)
Thanks!
AllegroTrans Jul 29, 2012:
@ Nikki Yes, sounds right
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jul 29, 2012:
leaving date Might also try and match it to what you have used for "Entré en fonction".

State date/Leaving date
Contract started on/Contract ended on
or something along those lines, pairing them up in some way.

For this context (but not for the Glossary) – to go with start date.

disagree AllegroTrans : what if this person left before the end of his contract ("expiry date")? (which is highly probable)
