According to statistics, a modern employee changes his job on average once every 2.5 years. Of course, there are those who work in the same position for several decades and, conversely, those who change the company every six months. Moreover, the reason is not always the reason for the inconsistency with their official duties and the subsequent dismissal - much more often the employee leaves for a more monetary or promising place.
How to quit work with a minimum of losses? A few basic rules:
- Before you leave your old job, you should look for a new one. So you can avoid long downtime - it's not a fact that a new place will appear immediately. In addition, employers are more likely to invite busy job seekers for an interview.
- Before leaving your job, ask your manager to write a letter of recommendation or a description - of course, if you have good, trusting relationships with your superiors. In a new place, they will certainly appreciate a good review from their previous work.
- Pre-warn your superiors about your departure so that they can pick up a replacement employee.
- It is not necessary to break off relations with colleagues before leaving - it is better to finish work in a calm, friendly atmosphere. It is quite possible you still have to meet these people throughout your life, especially if you work in a highly specialized field.
- Write a letter of resignation, work for two weeks, pick up documents, work and leave.
Of course, it describes the ideal departure from work. Reality may not be so rosy.
Firstly, the leader may be against dismissal, especially during the emergency period. In this case, he may simply not sign a letter of resignation. If you are already waiting for a new job, but you can’t agree with the bosses in a good way, you need to write and send a registered letter by mail. The company cannot but accept and register it. Two weeks can be counted from the moment of registration, after which it is safe to go for documents.
How to quit work without working out?
Under the law, an employee is required to work two weeks at the same place of work before leaving. This term is given both in the interests of the company - so that management can select and, if necessary, train a new employee, and in the interests of the employee itself - it is not uncommon that something does not grow together at the last moment and the employee has to remain in the old place.
On the other hand, an employee can quit without working out in agreement with his superiors. It is possible that the head will meet him, especially if this care does not affect the work of the company.
The second option, the most common one, is to write a statement and, before quitting work, go on paid (or unpaid leave) or on sick leave.
Well, if the initiative in dismissal belongs to the employee. However, often the boss himself suggests leaving the objectionable employee.
Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation describes 11 reasons why an employee can be dismissed. Basically, these are violations of labor duties, labor discipline, and job mismatch. When dismissing, the employer must draw up an order with reference to a specific paragraph and indicate the reason for dismissal in the work book. If this is truancy, it should be officially recorded, including testimony.
A separate line is the dismissal of the reduction. In this case, the employee is entitled to a benefit in the amount of the average monthly earnings. In addition, to him up to 2 months, the employer must pay the average monthly salary. Naturally, this is not beneficial for employers, so many are forced to write a “statement of their own”, which does not give any benefits, threatening to dismiss under the article.
The best thing that can be done in this situation is to threaten the workers' rights with a court or committee and not be afraid to assert their rights.
