Are you thinking about leaving your job?
If an employee gets a job offer from another company and accepts it, they must give a resignation letter. This letter should be given to their current workplace a certain amount of time before they leave. This is called the notice period.
Here is our guide on how to hand in your notice at work.
A resignation letter should be properly formatted as a letter, featuring addresses at the top of the document and beginning with ‘Dear [Line Manager]’. The content of the letter should include explicit reference of the employee’s intention to resign, the notice period and what the final day of work should be.
Employees may choose to thank their manager or employer for their time with the company and to assure them that they will work to make the transition away from their role as soon as possible. Tools like Canva have resignation letter templates to support this process.
The amount of notice required to be given is called the notice period. This will be set out in your employment contract, alongside other details such as the amount of annual leave and the salary.
The length of notice period may depend on how long an employee has been in a role, how senior they are within a business, or other factors.
Usually, notice is given to your line manager by giving them your resignation letter, formally starting the notice period. This may then be passed to the HR department who can formalise your final day, but this can also be done by others within the business if there is no HR department.
