It is necessary to write a good resignation letter if you want to end your employment relationship voluntarily . The resignation letter document is a necessary formality, for example, for voluntary resignation.

In this GeoVictoria note, we will talk about how important it is to write a resignation letter. In addition to giving you examples and options to do so, as in the Labor Department.

Why is it important to write a resignation letter?

According to Robert Half, “a letter of resignation ensures that there will be no confusion between the date you broke the news and when you resign.” Therefore, it is normal for companies to include a copy of your resignation letter in your HR folder as a final document. How To Write A Letter Of Resignation? 

What are the steps to write this letter?

This document must have the following:

1) The letter must be addressed to your employer.
2) You must express your desire to resign from your current job.
3) You must include the exact date on which the resignation will become effective.
4) It is necessary to go in person to one of the following actors, for the letter to be “ratified”:

• Public notary.
• An official of the Civil Registry.
• Town Clerk.
• Supervisor of the Labor Inspectorate.
• The union president of the company.

Generally, for the letter to be ratified correctly, other documents will be requested, such as:

• Current employment contract.
• Salary settlement.
• Identity card.

When the employer has received your resignation letter, it is advisable to send a copy to the Labor Inspectorate, in this way compliance with the Law is guaranteed. If you previously reached an agreement with the company and both parties agree to the resignation, the 30-day period is not necessary, as long as both parties agree on a date.
