| 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 !

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

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**

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.

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 ?

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