How to resign from your job
You should make it clear to your employer that you are formally resigning. You can give your resignation verbally, unless your contract of employment says otherwise. However, it's always a good idea to put it in writing, saying:
•how much notice you are giving
•what your last day will be
If you want to explain your reasons for resigning, putting it in writing will make it easier to organise your thoughts.
Give your employer the right amount of notice. By law, you must give one week's notice if you have worked for your employer for a month or more. Your contract may demand longer.
Remember that:
•your resignation can't be taken back, unless your contract allows it, or your employer agrees
•you will get your final pay on your normal pay day unless your contract says differently - you don't have the right to ask for it any earlier
•as long as you have given notice in accordance with the terms of your contract, your employer must accept your resignation
