question on resignation

[longshot_21]

labor code provides...... one month notice in advance.

question: what if you have yet to sign the contract as the company practices handing the contracts a month after you've started? you get paid during that month but you don't FEEL like staying. can you send the notice and leave immediately or do you have to send the notice and stay for a month?

does receipt of payment constitute an implied contract? if so, what happens if you don't come to terms with some of the provisions of the contract when you eventually get a copy?

advice. advice. advice!!

Try reading your contract again and understand the provisions regarding resignations. Usually merong way out doon. You could also consult your principal about it.

Since contracts are meant to keep an employee because of the perceived training costs, they won't lose much kung hindi ka pa nakaka-kumpleto ng one month.

weeellll ... the labor code does say you have to give one month's notice. but if you hand in your resignation, effective immediately, and the company accepts it, then good for you. just make sure you have a signed copy of your resignation letter.

don't worry about the month you got paid. you don't have to give the money back, even though you didn't sign any contract yet, hehe.

as a matter of courtesy, give a few days' notice naman. and try to do it sana before they hand you the contract. well, if they do hand out the contract before you can inform them of your intent, don't sign it anymore. baka mas mahirapan ka mag-resign.

Yes, legally you should give 30-days advance notice. However, if the company accepts your resignation earlier, then no problemo. Just make sure that if they do accept, you get a copy of your resignation letter with the "Accepted" remark on it signed by your Immediate Manager.

Don't worry about the employment contract. If you've spent a few days you'll get paid for that. As for the remaining days of the month where you didn't work or filed a leave, you'll be deducted for that as well.

advise your supervisor first, give him/her a courtesy copy of your resignation letter when you submit it to your manager

Resignation letters are always addressed to the Immediate manager. Usually, its the asme person who signed your employment letter or probationary agreement. It should be addressed to the Immediate Manager because managers are the authorized person to "hire and fire"... therefore, you should address your resignation letter to the manager of your dept. If you are reposting to a supervusor, you address it to the manager of your supervisor but do not forget to indicate "Thru: (your immediate supervisor)".

You may give a separate copy (remember, cc only) to your HR people but your manager should give your resignation letter to HR for processing.

Good luck!!!
