Our templates are designed to help you navigate the legal and practical aspects of resignations while maintaining positive relationships with your departing employees.
What is a Resignation?
A resignation is a formal process by which an employee voluntarily terminates their employment with a company. It involves the employee submitting a written notice to their employer, indicating their intention to leave the job and the date on which they plan to do so.
Resignation can be initiated by the employee for a variety of reasons, such as a better job opportunity, dissatisfaction with the current job, personal reasons, or retirement. It can also be initiated by the employer, in which case it is referred to as a termination or dismissal.
Resignation is an important process that allows both the employee and employer to plan for the future and make necessary arrangements.
-
An employee may have been constructively dismissed if the employer's actions prompted them to resign.
-
Unless the employer agrees to forgo the notice provision, the employee is required by his or her employment contract to work a period of notice.
-
The employer should always accept an employee's resignation in writing, stating the last day the person is expected to work and the date the employment will end (if different).
-
If the employment contract allows it, an employer may pay the employee in lieu of notice to enable his or her early departure from the organisation.
-
Employers may place employees on "garden leave" for the duration of the notice period if their employment contracts allow it.
-
Employers should conduct exit interviews to determine the cause for the employee's departure and to utilise this as a chance to fix any workplace concerns.
