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 (http://bit.ly/U7taMD)

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.

"I ... have learned lots of stuff. "

:lawl:

[elwell]

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

[JSALES]

Lol "lots of stuff" doesn't sound professional

[Gh0stRider]

"a lot of neat stuff"

Thanks in advance !

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

[blee123]

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.

[Zoidberg]

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