In California, employees must provide written notice to their supervisor before their resignation takes effect. If the job offer was retracted on the basis of a protected characteristic, then the job seeker can state claims under state and federal anti-discrimination law.My employee submitted her resignation, but now she wants to withdraw it. Do we have to let her? How do I withdraw a resignation letter? Featherstone holds that refusing to rescind a resignation that is voluntary and noncoerced is not an adverse employment action under FEHA. The employer has the right to accept such resignation at face value and take the normal actions to replace the resigning worker. An employee can, in many scenarios, decline to rehire an employee who voluntarily resigns and then attempts to rescind their resignation. You can try to rescind, but they do not necessarily have to accept it. Los Angeles Charter and Administrative Code; Sec. 439.
