Thank you very much, Helena!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Andrew Mason: This is what it is. It is the final settlement when someone leaves employment (sacked, retired, left) and is normally signed by the employee as a recognition that the company has paid everything it should have. Curiously, it is not obligatory to sign it

agree  Emma Paulay: And in my experience it is actually a cheque - even if you've always been paid by bank transfer.
