A resignation “with immediate effect” is a breach of the employment contract. Even though the employee is suspended from working, the contract of employment would terminate at the end of the notice period.
If your stress is impacting your health, you may want to resign immediately so you can focus on getting help. Otherwise, giving notice can help preserve your professional reputation. Assess your current situation and decide which option is best for you, then clearly state your last day in your resignation letter.
Typically, it's customary to give two weeks' notice when leaving a job. This gives your employer time to find a replacement and get everything in order. However, while most employees give notice, some employers dismiss the employee on the same day. So, it really is up to you.
(2) "Immediate family" means a person's spouse residing in the person's household; brothers and sisters of the whole or half blood; children, including adopted children and stepchildren; parents; and grandparents.
In cases where immediate resignation causes disruption or financial loss, employers may have grounds to claim breach of contract. Potential remedies include withholding payment for the unworked notice period or, in rare cases, pursuing legal action for damages.
If you resign without giving the contractual notice, you may be in breach of contract. This could potentially result in the employer seeking damages, although this is rare for probationary employees. Companies, especially large ones, often have policies regarding rehiring former employees.
(1) A two-week written notice of resignation is standard and will be provided by the resigning employee to their supervisor. Longer or shorter notice periods may be appropriate for key positions; therefore, alternative notice arrangements may be arranged with the employee, unit, and human resources.
Resignation with immediate effect occurs when an employee informs their employer that they are leaving their role without providing the notice period required by their contract. It is an unusual situation and can have significant implications for both the employee and the employer.
