I am writing to formally acknowledge the receipt of your resignation letter dated date of resignation letter. We are disheartened that you will be leaving our organisation, however, we respect your decision. Your last working day with us will be Enter Date.
It is a common misconception that an employee's notice of resignation is not valid unless it has been "accepted" by the employer. The position at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be "refused" by the employer or "withdrawn" by the employee, without the other's agreement.
Acceptance of a resignation tendered by an employee is necessary to make the resignation effective.
Employer's Obligation to Accept Resignation: The refusal to "allow" the resignation does not invalidate the employee's right to terminate the employment relationship. The resignation becomes effective after the 30-day notice period, regardless of whether the employer has accepted it.
You cannot reject an employee's resignation. However, a conversation might help you find out if there are problems that can be resolved. This might be enough for the employee to choose to stay. You do not have to respond formally when someone tells you they're resigning.
So if you have not had written notification, request it. If your request is ignored, you could write out to the employee and state that you deem they have indeed resigned due to their lack of response. You should however be aware that depending on the circumstances, this could be construed as a dismissal.
Is a resignation acceptance letter necessary? Yes, a resignation acceptance letter is necessary to ensure legal and administrative compliance, smooth transition, clarity, and professionalism.
Communicate clearly Even if you cannot give two weeks' notice, do your best to communicate with your employer and let them know that you are leaving. Let your manager know when your last day will be, or if you are unable to come into work any longer.
Resignation Email Message Without Notice Example I apologize for not being able to give a full two weeks' notice, but it will be necessary for me to leave before then. I will do my best to get as much of my work done in the meantime so the next employee will have a smooth transition.
