If an employee resigns without notice, there are in effect two options for you as an employer; you can either choose to accept their resignation with immediate effect, or you could look to enforce any relevant applicable notice period.
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).
A resignation without notice is when an employee resigns from their position without the typical two weeks' notice. When resigning without notice, your letter should state clearly that the resignation will be effective immediately. Adding context and expressing gratitude can help preserve your professional reputation.
I regret to inform you that I am resigning from my position as Job Role at Company Name, effective immediately. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to continue in my current role. I apologise for the abrupt nature of my departure and any inconvenience it may cause.
Dear (Recipient's Name), I am writing to inform you of my immediate resignation from my position at (Company Name). After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to conclude my employment with (Company Name) effective immediately.
If you are relying on your current employer for references in the future or work in a small, close-knit field, understand that leaving without notice could end your professional relationship and even result in a negative reference or reputation within that field.
Simply put an employer is not obligated to accept a resignation with immediate effect and employees can no longer “escape a disciplinary hearing” by resigning with immediate effect.

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.
