While immediate resignation is possible, it's generally advisable to provide notice if possible to ensure a smooth transition and maintain a positive relationship with your employer.
It's common courtesy to give your employer at least two weeks' notice of your resignation, but sometimes that's not an option. There are many circumstances that may warrant an immediate resignation. Perhaps you're dealing with a hostile or unsafe work environment that's jeopardizing your mental or physical health.
I am writing to inform you of my resignation from my position at (Company Name), effective immediately. Due to personal reasons, I am unable to continue working and will not be returning to the office.
The following are the things to keep in mind when writing an immediate resignation letter: Write the date first. Explain only necessities. Remain professional. Include questions. Be grateful. Add contact information. Proofread your letter. Make copies and hand-deliver the letters.
If you quit without notice, your employer could sue you for any damages caused by your breach of contract, eg if they had to hire an expensive temp to fill in for you during what would have been your notice period.
It's perfectly legal to quit without notice in the USA. You would likely be coded as ineligible for rehire in the old employer's HR system. You also are unlikely to get a good reference (but smart employers don't permit references good or bad). Of course, with any voluntary quit, you can't get unemployment insurance.
Consequences of Immediate Resignation Without Just Cause If an employee resigns without providing the 30-day notice and does not have any of the valid reasons specified by law, the employer may be entitled to claim damages. The damages could cover any losses incurred by the employer due to the abrupt resignation.
I understand that my notice period is (Notice period) weeks, but I have been asked to join my new Employer (Date requested to start). Therefore, I respectfully request that you waive this notice period and relieve me of my duties immediately.
What to do for resigning without notice? Talk to someone from your new job. Speak to your employer. Remain professional. Include questions. Be grateful. Make copies and hand-deliver the letters.
