Customer: Does Georgia recognize "resignation in lieu of termination"? No. Accepting your resignation immediately does not mean that you are terminated.An employer need to accept the full time of your notice. As an "at-will" employment state, Georgia generally allows employers to terminate employees for any reason, at any time, without prior notice. Georgia requires employers to send a Separation Notice to EVERY exiting employee, regardless of whether the separation was voluntary or involuntary. A resignation acceptance letter is a formal way to acknowledge that you accept your employee's request to resign. In Georgia, an important step in the employee separation process is the Separation Notice. A termination should be verbally communicated to the employee whenever possible and a formal letter of termination provided. Here's my resignation letter. If so, an employee could rely on the policy to support a claim for the two weeks' pay if the employer made the resignation effective immediately.
