any one here have sample of immediate notice resignation?

I have a question,

Say that your employment contract states that your notice period by both parties is 3 months but the company has agreed to give an early release by just serving till end of the 1 out of 3 months. Does the company have to pay the other 2 months wages in lieu ? And if it does can you bring this up with them after say 2 months of leaving the company ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

no, company don't need to pay the other 2 month wages.

Thanks for the info.

Just wondering, if i'm being offered a buy out of 1 month out of my 3 months notice period...do i need to state i'm only serving 2 months notice due to buy out in my resignation letter?

Ask your HR.

Hi everybody! This is my first post here (and I really hope I chose the right section for my following problem).
I'm not from Australia, however, after a brief google research this forum seemed like a good idea.

Long story short: I'm in real need of an objective advice in regard to the following problematic working issue:

I work for about 3 years in a company where the boss (he) is romantically involved with a coworker (she).

My boss grants me trust in handling my tasks, appreciates the work I do (he is pretty much a good manager). His "secret" relationship with this woman is the problem: due to this, she can be a "dictator" (shout, treat the other coworkers like trash ..., makes people cry/ full of anxiety).

Today, her "being her" almost made me quit. I left earlier (excusing myself that I wasn't feeling good) just to calm myself and not say in her face the truth.

My problems:
1. Every time I want to complain to my boss about how she behaves he says "That's the way she is... ", or avoids the subject. She managed to convince him to fire two other colleagues that "undermined" her ...
2. I like what I do and my colleagues (her ... less) but I can't go on working with her.

So, I can't expect a solution from my boss nor continuing to ignore her behavior.

Should I write my resignation and "thank my boss and colleagues for the great period spent there?"

The only problem is 'her'? If yes, then just being honest to your boss and tell him that you will leave if he can't find a solution.
For me, I definitely can't ignore 'her' behavior and I won't happy to work in such environment for long term. If boss can't solve the problem, I will choose to leave. By the way, I always have no problem to look for a new job so I never want to work in a unhappy environment.
Hope my sharing help you.

It helped a lot. Thanks.

Hi all,

So I have a basic question. What is the meaning of 'pay in lieu of notice'. Ok the situation was my resignation notice should be 1 month but I requested to end it 1 week earlier and served only 3 weeks notice. HR did calculated for me the amount that will be deducted from my salary which I was aware of and have no problem with that.
So I guess I will have only 3 weeks salary coz they deducted the 1 week short notice. But it happened that they deducted the 1 week short notice from the 3 weeks salary. So its like twice deduction to my salary for the 1 week short notice. I thought I will be getting full 3 weeks salary since they deducted the 1 week already. When I called the HR said thats how the thing work.salary is salary and short notice is short notice. Though I still couldn't accept the answer due to the fact that they deducted twice of my salary.

Just to make thing clear here, is that how it should be done?

If I get it correctly, HR is right. You got 3 weeks salary and then you have to pay 1 week salary as a compensation to your company or it means you buy off the 1 week notice. That's why you get 2 weeks salary now.
Only you get 3 weeks salary if you use your remaining annual leave to knock off the 1 week notice.

This is my understanding.

Ok thank u..

Can the manager/boss add on requests during probation period before you get hired? Had a boss that said, "if you quit smoking, I'll confirm your permanent position." I hailed my ass out of there and quit but is that a legit request? The contract had that "can be changed to the employer's discretion" clause thingy.

Other than persons subject to employment act, the rest of us unfortunate bunch are subject to the terms and conditions contained in our offer letter. So whatever we signed, that would become the terms and conditions of our engagement. Now the keyword one should note is “consent”, the act of signing the letter of offer indicates that you have consensually bound by the terms and conditions offered by the company.

Now your employer has indicated that he/she would like to introduce some funky new terms and conditions in which you are no agreeable and also you have pointed out a super clause in which the employer has discretion to change the terms and conditions of the offer in which you have accepted.

Changes per se to an arrangement must always be consensual, in this instance there should be supplemental issued and you will have to sign off in order for the new conditions to take effect.

To go one step further, why not your employer revise your salary downwards since they are at it?

If a person promises you something but delivers another mid stream, it’s fair to say you can walk away from that promise as well since the very essence and nature of the arrangement has been changed.

NO, your answer is wrong. The company does have to pay the remaining 2 months' wages in lieu. Because it is not the employee that wanted out earlier, but the employer.

That is what "in lieu" means in the contract because if it was the employee that wanted out earlier instead, the HR could EASILY make the employee pay back 2 months' wages in lieu simply because it was stated in the contract.

Hi all,

i got a question here,
i just resign today, one month notice period i have 19 days of annual leave, the company follow general of employment act law, and the annual leave is given 19 days a year and it's not earned annual leave,

my question is
i resign today i still have 17days of leave , i wanted to know the 17days i could use all to complete my one month notice or what?

say, nothing stated about notice period. does it mean i can resign on the spot?

Erm. Not so sure about your case because I know annual leave could be prorated if I quit the company.

Hi all, I have a question.

If I wish to resign by paying one month's salary instead of serving notice, does the employer have the right to deny me the option to do so?

Hello guys. I would like to seek for advice here for my scenario.

I am a fresh graduate and applied at 2 mid tiers accounting firm while I have an interview at one of the big4 this Friday. Firm A gave me an offer and asked me to go work tomorrow and I accepted. What if the big 4 or Firm B (better firm with better offer) accepted me next week? What should I tell the HR that I want to resign after 1 week of working? As I know probation notice period is 24 hours. Urgently need advices thank you!
