Proper notice of resignation?

[cafe_baby28]

Balak kong magresign sa trabaho ko at plano kong ibigay ang aking resignation letter sa Friday. Ilang weeks' notice ang ibibigay ko sa aking boss? Wala naman kasi kamin contract na nagsasabi kung ano ang proper notice for resignation. Okay na kaya ang two weeks' notice?

Saka kapag magreresign ba, kelangan pang kausapin yung immediate supervisor tungkol dito or pwede na lang magsubmit na agad ng formal resignation letter? Sensya na sa dami ng tanong, 1st job ko rin kasi ito eh. Salamat!

kung walang nakalagay, i guess ok na ang 2 weeks notice. actually, pwede ka ngang umalis agad, pero courtesy na lang na bigyan mo sila ng konting time makahanap ng kapalit mo. =)

kung ok ang relationship mo with your boss, by all means, kausapin mo muna. baka sakaling ma-convince ka niya pag-stay. or if disidido ka na talagang umalis, heads up lang sa kanya. ika nga, don't burn your bridges. malay mo maka-trabaho mo uli yung boss mo in the future.

my 2 cents lang, although i personally don't have any experience resigning pa. =) nandito pa rin ako sa first job ko.

normally 30 days notice, right? pero in my case before i had 3 weeks lang kasi i have to start on my next employer already..

[TheEndofDays]

Dapat inform both sides on your new employer sabihan mo na 30 days ka maging available same as to the former.

One month notice ang usual practice. Pero ako nakapag-one week notice lang sa last job ko sa Pinas, buti mabait yung boss ko noon at pinayagan ako, at may pabaon pang EOS :D

One month notice is not just usual practice. It's the minimum required by the Labor Code, unless lowered or waived by the company.

If the policies are silent, then the one-month notice must be strictly observed. Do not assume anything.

May malilipatan ka na ba? if yes tapos kailangan ka na talaga ng new employer mo, you can give 15 days notice sa current employer mo. Pero kung kaya ka pa hintayin ng new employer mo, give 30 days notice.

Pero kung wala ka pang malilipatan......wag ka muna mag resign. Unless may aasikasuhin ka na mga personal matters na hindi mo magawa habang employed ka. hehe :D

Hi! According to an HR professional I spoke to, it's customary to give your notice 15 to 30 days ahead, just like the previous posters said. Basically it's better to give your superiors an early heads-up about your planned resignation so they could find a replacement (and also, if necessary, so you can train your replacement as was the case with some former officemates).

It's also better to inform your immediate supervisor first once you've made your decision to resign. It's in good form if he or she hears it from you first than from other people so make sure you ask your boss if he/she can take some time to discuss an important matter with you.

Naturally, it's likely to be quite difficult to approach your boss to tell him that you're planning on resigning from your job. --Especially if you're as shy as myself. :) But nevertheless, try to be polite but direct to the point. Remember that your supervisor might be busy and he or she will probably appreciate it if you didn't dally with your conversation.

An article I read also suggests that you be ready to discuss your reason for leaving because there may be some questions from your boss' side.

Most importantly, I think, if you've decided to resign try to do it amicably or diplomatically.

I hope that helps somehow. :) Good luck with your next endeavor!

first you have to be sure that you have a new job hired ka na sa lilipatan mo then inform them that you can only start in 30days then saka mo sabihan yung pinapasukan mo.

kung kelangan ka sa company na pinapasukan mo baka may counter offer pa sila malay mo mas mataas sa lilipatan mo.

pag sa Amerika ka nagtatrabaho, resign ka ngayon at kinabukasan alis ka na. sa Pilipinas 30 days notice.

[real madrid]

^ minsan siguro kung banas na banas na sa iyo yung boss mo baka kinabukasan din ok na resignation mo.

Different countries have different labor or employment laws.

The "at-will" clauses do not apply here.

"At-Will Employment" means that if an employee is not covered by an employment contract, the employee can't be forced to stay with an employer and, in turn, an employer can't be forced to keep the employee and can terminate him/her at any time. In other words, the employee can quit at any time and the employer can let the employee go at any time.

according sa philippine labor code 30 days notice is the least, not unless otherwise papayagan ka ng employer mo. what i did then is i passed a letter stating my resignation, but not including the end date, then i asked the hr personnel kung ilang araw ba pwede. then i let them indicate/write the effectivity date it in my resignation letter para walang sabit. they gave me 15 days notice. so labas ako sa 30 days ng labor code since sila na mismo nakipagcompromise na 15 days.

Ang saya naman nito. Yung company namin, 3 months prior notice. :confused:

To answer the question: I guess 1 month is OK. Most companies that hire experienced people most likely expect this waiting period unless they have a very urgent need. And yes, please let your boss know. It is impoliteness not to do so. Bilog ang mundo. Baka maging workmates ulit kayo.

[treefingers]

at least 1 month's notice is the required by the phil labor code. but of course it can be waived by the employer. you can just hand your letter but im sure your boss would appreciate it if you talk to him about it even just a day in advance.

yes, it should be 30 days notice and the employer can waive this. however, what if the employee doesn't follow the policy and submit his resignation letter on the same day he's resigning? can the employer indefinitely hold his clearance, employment certificate, and last pay?

[treefingers]

boss can file charges against you for damages caused by your abrupt exit

Eh pano kung yung employer sabi 60 days daw dapat. Pwede ba yun?

[benyaki]

Eh pano kung yung employer sabi 60 days daw dapat. Pwede ba yun?

according to the labor code, 30 days lang po.. unless otherwise pumayag ka sa 60 days.. if they insist 60 days, you may consult NLRC (national labor relations comission) with regards to your resignation.. just make it sure you have proper documentations of your resignation, which i think is resignation letter accepted by HR signed by your boss.. i suggest you record your conversation with your boss or HR for legal purposes kung sakaling ayaw nilang iprocess yung papers mo.. at least may papakita kang evidence sa NLRC kung lalapitan mo sila.. :)

[melquiades]

maki usap at luhuran mo boss mo...pwede yan kahit 7 days

Article 285 of the LC says:

An employee may terminate without just cause the employee-employer relationship by serving a written notice on the employer at least one (1) month in advance.

meaning... that's the minimum requirement -- it can't go lower, unless waived by management.


just make it sure you have proper documentations of your resignation, which i think is resignation letter accepted by HR signed by your boss..

it's usually the other way around. The resignation should be accepted/approved by the immediate supervisor.


i suggest you record your conversation with your boss or HR for legal purposes kung sakaling ayaw nilang iprocess yung papers mo.. at least may papakita kang evidence sa NLRC kung lalapitan mo sila.. :)

This might not work. Unless management/HR knows and agrees that they are being recorded, then your action may not be acceptable or admissible as evidence.

[taurus90210]

what if 3months notice kayo tulad ng sa cuz ko sa Deutsche Bank?
Kung magre-resign sya at gusto effective 1 month, pwede ba nya ipilit na 1 month kahit nakapirma sya ng contract?
What if hindi pumayag ang boss, may habol ba sya?
Kung apply sya ng LOA/leave w/o pay, ok lang ba yon after filing resignation para makaalis ng 1 month?

[pantone #000]

nagwork ako for a fast developing food chain na bigtime sa Pinas. i admit may kaunting pagkukulang ako sa performance. but enough ground na ba yun? i was given the notice of non-regularization 7 DAYS before my last day. ouch! big company pa naman sila. i even know one case of such HR behavior mas grabe. same company din. booo.

[pantone #000]

sorry everyone. i got carried away. super off topic pala.

Not always the case. Some who have good standing performance based on yearly reviews who have submitted resignation letter (let's say 1 month) stay for the entire duration on what's stated on the letter (but on the other hand, when performance is very good, management finds a way to keep the person for another year or so by raising salary, and at times, more than the required yearly increase). Some who have poor performance reviews are literally escorted out of the premises (a harsh way of putting "Good riddance!" since it's obvious that it'll be just 30-days of milking the company).

When I resigned from my employed architectural company in HK, I gave a 2-month notice.

Hi guys!

I am in a dilemma right now. :confused: I will be having a job offer tomorrow but initially the HR called me and asked me if can start by September 1. The problem is as per company policy, I have to give a 30-day notice for my current employer. What could happen if I indicate in my resignation letter that the effectivity of my resignation should be at Sept.1? What are the risks?? What should I do? I really need a new job right now. Please help me. :mecry:

Thanks!
