Dear recipient's name, I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from my position at Company Name, effective immediately. Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I am unable to continue my role at this time. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities and experiences I have had while working here.
Hi! Unless you can negotiate an agreement with your supervisor, HR, and upper management to allow you to resign immediately, you are bound by law to render at least 30 days notice.
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.
If you decide to resign without notice, it is important to do so in a professional manner. You should write a letter of resignation to your employer, stating your intention to resign and the date of your last day of employment. You should also be prepared to answer any questions your employer may have.
Unless employed under a contract, most people work under the terms of at-will employment, meaning that neither the employer or the employee has a legal obligation to give notice before terminating employment.
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).
State that you are resigning, and provide the effective date. Briefly cite personal reasons as the basis for your resignation, without elaborating further. Express gratitude for the opportunity to have worked there. Convey well-wishes for the company and your colleagues.
Use a neutral and civil tone An unprofessional or emotional resignation letter could affect your reputation and hiring potential. Therefore, it's best to describe your reason for leaving in a neutral, civil and non-accusatory tone, using polite language and phrasing throughout.
Avoid accusatory language or venting frustrations. Focus on stating your intention to resign, effective on a specific date, without going into extensive detail about the unfair treatment. A simple statement like ``I am writing to inform you of my resignation from (position), effective (date)'' is sufficient.
