Employment Service Letter Rules in Missouri

In Missouri, corporations having at least seven employees must provide service letters to any former employees who worked for at least 90 days. The former employees must request the letter in writing within a reasonable period after they've left the business. The letter, which must be issued within 45 days of the request, must state (1) the nature and character of the services rendered, (2) employment dates, and (3) for what cause, if any, the employees quit or were discharged. An employer that fails to provide a requested service letter may be sued for any damages resulting from that failure.
