_________ Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name: The purpose of this letter is to acknowledge receipt and acceptance of the attached written voluntary resignation of date which you hand-delivered / mailed / emailed to name, title, at time. Based upon this letter, your resignation is effective date at time.
Dear Employee Name, I am writing to accept your resignation from your position at Company Name, effective on date per your request. Thank you for your contributions to Company Name. I am sure you will continue to work hard in your remaining time with us.
You do not have to respond formally when someone tells you they're resigning. But it's good practice to respond in writing. Your response should include: that you've received the employee's resignation.
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at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be "refused" by the employer or "withdrawn" by the employee, without the other's agreement.
Subject: Resignation Accepted. Dear Employee Name, We want to formally acknowledge and accept your decision to resign from your position as Position at Company Name. While we are saddened by your decision to leave, we understand and fully support your decision to prioritize family responsibilities.
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at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be "refused" by the employer or "withdrawn" by the employee, without the other's agreement.
If the employer has not formally (in writing) accepted the resignation, the employee could argue that the resignation was never accepted, or that the resignation never happened. The employee could even argue that the resignation was actually a termination and then file for unemployment.
Acceptance of a resignation tendered by an employee is necessary to make the resignation effective.
It confirms that the employer has received and accepted the employee's decision to leave the company, creating a clear record of the resignation and helping to avoid any misunderstandings down the line.
