Free employment law advice No win-no fee option Employment law-resignation What is a resignation? A resignation can be either verbal or in writing, and is a clear statement by you to your employer that you are going to leave your job. Threatening to leave, or saying that you are looking for another job, isn’t the same as formally resigning. What notice period do I have to give? This is usually set out in your contract of employment. An average notice period is between 1-3 months, but for senior employees, if could be 6 or 12 months. If there is no notice clause, or you do not have a written contract of employment, then the statutory minimum period of notice will apply. The statutory minimum period of notice where you have been employed one month or more is 1 week. If you have been employed less than a month, then you do not need to provide any notice. A much longer notice period may, however, may be implied if it is reasonable in all the circumstances (i.e. what is normal for a person of that seniority and in the industry) . Where you are resigning based on a constructive dismissal situation, you would not usually be expected to work your notice as this would form part of your claim. Can my resignation be “with immediate effect”? Is it a good idea to do so? If you have less than 1 months’ service, and no notice provisions in your contract of employment, then you can resign with immediate effect. You otherwise need to give 1 week’s statutory notice (or longer if your contract provides for this) . If you resign with immediate effect unwittingly, your employer may accept this, and you would then forgo your notice payments that you were otherwise expecting under your contract. This could represent a valuable loss, so you need to make sure you really intend to resign with immediate effect, rather than making it clear that you are providing the appropriate notice under your contract of employment. In any event, a resignation with immediate effect could put you in breach of your contract. Your employer may then decide to make a claim against you for losses suffered as a result of your breach. This is a worse case scenario, and you would expect a sensible dialogue to take place during any resignation process. The point is that you do need to be careful. Should I give my employer the “heads up” that I am going in to resign on a future date? This will depend on how good the relationship is with your employer. We would generally say, however, that giving a “heads up” is not a good idea as we have seen many employers accept this as your actual resignation. This would mean you could be leaving earlier than you had intended. Also, your employer may not be predisposed to treat you in the same way as before, after stating an intention to leave (without formally handing in your notice) . This could work against you at a time when you want a smooth transition into your new job. How do I resign? Will a verbal resignation be enough? Most employment contracts require employees to give written notice of their resignation. If you chose not to do so in these circumstances, the notice period will not begin to run until you give your employer written notice (unless they are prepared to accept a verbal notification) . If you don’t have a contract, or the contract is silent on how to give notice, you may give verbal or written notice. What do I write in my letter of resignation? In your letter of resignation you should set out the fact that you are resigning, together with how much notice you are giving and when your last day will be.
