Acceptance Letter For Resignation In Utah

Q: What if my resignation is not acknowledged?

It is a common misconception that an employee&#039;s notice of resignation is not valid unless it has been &quot;accepted&quot; by the employer. The position at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be &quot;refused&quot; by the employer or &quot;withdrawn&quot; by the employee, without the other&#039;s agreement.
