State the purpose of your email and last day of work, followed by a closing line expressing your gratitude. It could even be as simple as this: “I am writing to inform you of my resignation from my position as Job title at Company name. My last day of employment will be Date. Thank you for the opportunity.
If you want to leave before the end of your contractual notice, you can. Your employer could accept your resignation with an early leaving date.
Neither party can unilaterally 'extend' the notice period. It requires mutual agreement. However, 'curtailment' of the notice period can be unilaterally done by the employer and (probably) by the employee. The whole purpose of the notice period is to give each party time to find work or a replacement.
I am writing to inform you that I have decided to resign from my position as Job Title at Company Name. My last day of work will be Date. I want to take this opportunity to thank you and the entire team for the valuable experience and support provided during my time at Company Name.
Hence, yes, you can resign via email. But we suggest having an online meeting with your supervisor beforehand to give them a heads up.
The employee has the right to end their employment relationship as long as the proper notice has been served. Any extension of the resignation period must be agreed upon voluntarily by both parties.
While the employee has the right to set the resignation date within the notice period, the employer cannot arbitrarily change this date. The notice period provided by the employee is a contractual obligation that the employer must respect.
Last day: The resignation letter should state when their last day will be. A final day might be on the same day they express their resignation; or at a future date.
Expressing sincere gratitude and positive experiences A graceful exit includes expressing gratitude for the opportunities and experiences you've had during your tenure. A thoughtful resignation letter should acknowledge the support and opportunities provided by the manager and the organization.
10 things you should never say when leaving your job Don't bash your employer. Don't apologise. Don't give away too much. Don't make any promises. Don't sign anything. Don't tell them who knew. Don't say that you'll do an exit interview. Don't tell them how long you've been looking.
