FAQ
A statement of resignation. Clearly state your intention to leave and when you will be leaving. While it is traditional to have a two week notice, it is possible to give more or less time. Try to consider any projects or tasks that need to be completed before you leave.
Giving one week's notice is acceptable when leaving almost all positions, although two week's notice, when possible, is preferable. Providing notice is mostly a matter of custom and a way to maintain positive, professional relationships with a former employer.
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.
The BCEA, Section 37, sets out the statutory requirements for each party when terminating the employment contract. These are: One week's notice if the employee has been employed for six months or less. Two weeks' notice if the employee has been employed for more than six months but not more than one year.
An employee can resign with immediate effect, but it may breach their employment contract if they fail to work their required notice period.
Resigning without notice can impact your future employment options if a prospective employer checks your references and is told you quit without notice. Think about it from an employer's perspective: Would you want to hire someone who might leave you hanging? Possible financial repercussions.
If you resign without giving the contractual notice, you may be in breach of contract. This could potentially result in the employer seeking damages, although this is rare for probationary employees. Companies, especially large ones, often have policies regarding rehiring former employees.
How to write a resignation letter that's effective immediately? 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.
1. Quitting without notice will harm your reputation. Rightly or wrongly, two weeks notice when you're resigning is considered the professional convention, and anything less than that is considered unprofessional. (In some industries, longer notice is expected.)
You should give two weeks notice because it's the professional convention and it's generally considered a bridge-burning move not to. There are some exceptions to this: If circumstances make it impossible — for example, you need to leave immediately because of a health issue, family crisis, etc.
