Many employers only require 30 days' notice for retirement. However, it is wise to start the process far sooner. Even non-management employees should consider giving at least six-months of notice to protect their professional reputation and ensure a smooth transition.
One week's notice if the employee has been employed by the employer continuously for one month or more, but for less than two years. two weeks' notice if the employee has been with the employer for two years or more. This entitlement increases by one week per full year of service up to a maximum of 12 weeks.
Ing to some resources, three to six months advance retirement notice is considered the standard — although it'd be wise to revisit your company policy before making a final decision.
It's essential to give your employer enough notice to maintain goodwill and aid in the transition period. If you know you're retiring at the end of this year, consider drafting your letter at least a month or so in advance. Even longer doesn't hurt.
To write a simple retirement letter, begin with a polite greeting, express your intention to retire, provide the effective date of your retirement, express gratitude for the opportunity, and offer well wishes to colleagues and the organisation.
