Resignation Letter Redact For Free

Unfortunately, a resignation letter (or, for that matter, resigning or quitting orally, or face-to-face) cannot be withdrawn or taken back unless the employer voluntarily chooses to let you do so. Otherwise, once you resigned, you resigned.

Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name: I am writing to give my resignation from Company Name, effective one month from today insert date. I have enjoyed working with you over these past insert number of years and would like to thank you for the opportunities, both professional and personal, you have provided me during my time.

WITHDRAWAL OF NOTICE Providing proper notice of resignation is a unilateral act, requiring no acceptance by the other party for it to have effect. If an employee has provided a notice of resignation in clear and unambiguous terms then the notice cannot be withdrawn unless the employer consents to the withdrawal.

Can I withdraw my resignation? Generally no, as once you have given notice, it can only be withdrawn if your employer agrees (and there is no obligation for an employer to agree to the withdrawal).

Keep it professional. Keep it short and sweet. Provide reasons for leaving (optional). Remain polite. Say thank you to your employer for the role. Offer to help in the transition period. Avoid personal criticism. Finish your resignation letter positively.

Employees can resign at any time by giving proper notice under their contract of employment. Once a resignation has been given it cannot be withdrawn other than with the employer's express permission, or where it was given in the heat of the moment and then speedily retracted.

It is a common misconception that an employee's resignation can be withdrawn before you have formally accepted it. However, once an employee has given you notice, they cannot usually withdraw this without your agreement.
