Letter of Resignation from Employment

This letter can be used to resign from a position of employment. The document provides a simple template that enables a person to provide formal notice of their resignation and to clarify when their employment is at an end.

How to use this document?

Once the document has been prepared, it must be delivered to the employer (usually by mail or by hand delivery). Depending on the nature of the business, it may be appropriate for the letter to be delivered to a manager, HR officer, supervisor, or business owner.

Any notice period that an employee is required to provide is unlikely to commence until the employer receives the letter.

Applicable Law

The terms and conditions of the employment contract will determine the notice period. The provisions of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 would be relevant in respect of the same. Further, the employer would issue a relieving letter which acts as a notice to the employee that his/her resignation has been accepted and which may be required by future employers as proof of the same.

How to modify the template?

You fill out a form. The document is created before your eyes as you respond to the questions.

At the end, you receive it in Word and PDF formats. You can modify it and reuse it.
