Resignation letter
 

Hi guys, is there a legal time period that you have to let your employer know if you are resigning from the company?

Is there a format for a resignation letter?

*I am in commission sales and some people say that we can part ways anytime*

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks in advance !

Let me google that for you

i used this each time and it just choose the shortest one. to the point, brief..
normally companies won't need ur letter but i did have one that really needed one.

there is no required time frame needed, but its common courtesy to give at least 2 weeks. That way you leave on good terms.

Unless you are signed to a contract stating otherwise, if you dont want to use them for a reference, walk out today and go find another job. They wouldnt give you 2 weeks to find a new job if they wanted to let you go.

I'm in sales and the day you give your notice is usually the day they walk you out the door - but you will get paid for the two weeks providing you offer that in your letter. One place I gave 30 days notice (they were always all about 30 day notice to the clients) - so I got a month paid while I cruised around. Rare, but it happend

are you paid hourly? if you are 100% on commision sales, I dont get how you would have been paid :suspicious:

I am working in 100% commision sales (no wage or salary)

Here is my resignation letter so far:



"This is to let you know that I am resigning from __________ as of today. To help make sure that there is a smooth transition for the team, I will gladly stay longer if needed to assist as best as I can.

I have enjoyed my time working here and have learned lots of stuff. The reason I am leaving is because I have received a job offer at a different location.

Hopefully the advance notice I am giving you today will show you that I am resigning in good faith."


**can someone look over it for me and see if I should change anything? I didnt state "2 weeks" but i did say I will stay "longer" if needed**

Instead of saying "Lots of stuff" just say "a lot." lol

but you can simplify it.

To ______,

I regret to inform you that as of Friday, April 11 2014, I will be resigning my position at ___________.

I apologize for any inconvenience that this will cause. I understand if you wish to dismiss me earlier than this date, however I understand my notice of two weeks should be ample time for you to fulfil the position.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work with you.

I always try to be concise and to the point when it comes to dealing with business emails/letters. Niceties don't really take you anywhere, if they need you for something, they will ask you.

:lawl:

^geez, they drill that into your head to never say "lots of stuff"

Lol "lots of stuff" doesn't sound professional

"a lot of neat stuff"

Hah

Glad I clicked this thread, learned quite a bit of stuff.

If you still have/remember the agreement you sign with the company, then you must follow what is stated.

thanks for all the comments !!

I changed the "lots of stuff" part

other than that part, does the rest of the letter look ok?

I should include a date and also sign it right ?

Use something like this...


To whom it may concern;

Please accept this message as notification that I am resigning from my position with ____________ effective April ____.

I appreciate the opportunities I have had with _____________ over the last _________, and I thank you for your professional guidance during that time.

Please let me know what to expect with my final work schedule.

If I can be of assistance during this transition, please let me know.

You never put the word "stuff" in any formal letter period. Bunch of immature newbies.

What kind of stuff did your manager say when you handed it in?

just said, "looks like there is nothing I can do to hold you therefore this can be your last shift"

why are you quitting?
