How to write a letter of resignation

According to statistics, a person changes jobs on average every 2.6 years, which means that every 2.6 years he writes a letter of resignation. Moreover, the employee does not always leave his place. Often during the reorganization of the enterprise, with changes in its name, when changing the manager, all employees are asked to write a mandatory letter of resignation. After that, on the same day they are already hired by the "new" company.

Sample: Dismissal

In the upper right part of the sheet indicate the name of the organization and the full name of the head and employee in the dative case, for example:

“Acting Director of LLC“ LZhT-Sibirsky Val ”Shapkin IB from sales manager Mitrokhin K.R. ” In the center of the sheet they write in large letters “Statement”, and then the text of the statement itself: “Please dismiss me of my own free will from 12/14/2010” (the date is set taking into account two-week processing). Below are the day, year and month of writing the application, the signature and its decoding.

That, in principle, is all, such a letter of resignation can be submitted to your supervisor for signature, and he does not have the right not to accept it. You can also specify the reason for leaving, but this information, by and large, is not required.

An example of a letter of resignation by agreement of the parties is not much different from a statement of resignation of their own free will. In the same way, in the upper right part indicate to whom and from whom it is written, also in the center they write the heading in capital letters. The text of the letter itself is different: “I ask you to terminate the labor contract concluded on September 20, 2008 No. 111, by agreement of the parties in accordance with article 77, paragraph 1 of the Labor Code on December 29, 2009.” The following is a signature with a transcript, the date and month of writing the application.

Termination of the agreement by agreement of the parties may be an initiative not only of the employee, but also of his employer. In this case, it is the employer who writes the application and passes it through the secretary or in person.

The approximate text of such a statement: “I ask you to terminate the employment contract concluded on 10/31/1998 by agreement of the parties, in accordance with Article 77, paragraph 1 of the Labor Code. I propose to discuss the date of dismissal and termination of the employment contract, as well as other conditions at a personal meeting. ” Next is the number and signature.

If an employee is required to submit a letter of resignation at least 14 days before the expected date of departure, then in the event of dismissal by agreement of the parties, there are no such restrictions. It all depends on the agreement of both parties - an employee will leave work in a day or in 3 weeks. The second significant difference is that the employer cannot refuse a request to dismiss of his own free will, even if he really needs this person and is in a hurry at work. But upon dismissal by agreement, the employee will have to negotiate. He will not be able to leave without the consent of his superiors on the eve of the delivery of a major project, annual report or large-scale inventory.

The third difference is that an employee dismissed at his own request cannot rely on any compensation, while upon termination of the employment contract by agreement, the employer must pay a severance pay equal to two-month earnings. There are also frequent cases when an employee at the last moment decides to stay in his old place, realizing that he got excited about leaving (or when it did not work out with a new post). If an employee wrote a letter of resignation of his own free will, he can be revoked in writing and the manager will be obliged to reinstate him (though if he is not on vacation and another employee has not officially come to his place). If the dismissal was signed by agreement, the employee can recover only with the consent of his employer.
