In the situation where an employee resigns with immediate effect, it was held that such termination is in breach of a contractual term that requires the giving of notice.
It's common courtesy to give your employer at least two weeks' notice of your resignation, but sometimes that's not an option. There are many circumstances that may warrant an immediate resignation. Perhaps you're dealing with a hostile or unsafe work environment that's jeopardizing your mental or physical health.
A resignation “with immediate effect” is a breach of the employment contract. Even though the employee is suspended from working, the contract of employment would terminate at the end of the notice period.
To quit, write a simple letter addressed to your supervisor that says nothing more than you are resigning, and which day will be your last. Don't mention your reasons or future plans, no complaints, just your resignation and effective date.
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).
Only resign without giving notice if you have an appropriate reason for doing so, such as: a personal or family crisis. a serious physical or mental illness. physical, emotional or sexual harassment or bullying at work.
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.
Reasons for writing an urgent resignation letter Personal emergencies requiring immediate attention. Sudden health issues preventing the continuation of work. Family crises or emergencies demanding the employee's presence. Intolerable work conditions such as harassment, discrimination, or unsafe environments.
