QUOTE(mandarinoriental @ Oct 14 2014, 02:52 PM) When you wish to resign, do you walk in to talk to your boss with a resignation letter? Or is it rude/insulting to prepare a letter before talking to your boss about it  It is better to talk to your boss first about your thought of resigning before you bring the letter along with you. It is kind of insulting if you go to your boss and tender the resignation letter without talking to your boss first, whether is to get increment from your boss or wanna let your boss counter offer from other job offers.

QUOTE(idunnolol @ Dec 4 2014, 12:43 PM) Then if resigned at 1st January 2015 but bonus has not been paid yet. Am i still entitled for the full year bonus which i've completed my service in 2014? QUOTE(fuzzy @ Dec 4 2014, 01:56 PM) Very unlikely. Most company would put in place the rule that an employee must be in active service on bonus payment day. Some even do not allow people who tendered but still in service on the day. That is why many people choose to tender their resignation when they receive their bonus.

QUOTE(melol @ Feb 4 2015, 05:11 PM) May I know, if one have signed the Letter of Offer & then , later inform the future employee of not joining the company , what are the possible consequences? No consequences, but make sure you fullfil all the requirements set by them for tendering your resignation. QUOTE(melol @ Feb 4 2015, 05:14 PM) Let's Say I have tendered today 4th Feb , with 2 months resignation period , so my last day should be on 4th April, & bonus payout in March . Any possibility that I still entitle to the bonus pay out? yes 4th of April is Saturday. Should be 3rd April. The bonus payout is very depending on your boss. Some say don't entitled for bonus, some does give for showing the employer are very much hope that you can stay/ come back in near future.

QUOTE(skyliew @ Oct 14 2015, 05:19 PM) Hi all, I'm facing some problem regarding my resignation.
I'm working at banking line company around 2 months and plan to resign before my confirmation on next month. But i have been bonded for 18 months. And now i plan to resign with the 24 hours notice due to the family issue. In my contract, i have to give one month notice but i have to go immediately and without paying the bond. Is it mean if i quit like this and i will be get blacklist in the banking industry?? Cannot apply for other bank job??  If your family issue is a major one and no one else in your immediate family can handle except you, then I guess the bank might be able to offer you some other alternative. But be sure you talk nicely to your management about it and handle it professionally. Contract bond is legal bond. You break the law, you pay. That's why the law was made.

QUOTE(Silverdust @ Nov 5 2015, 08:20 AM) Hi I would like some enlightenment on sending in the resignation letter earlier. My current situation is that I've gotten an offer letter from company( C) and signed the offer letter, however my commencement date will be on Jan 4. My current company(A) is a subsidiary of company(B), however company (B)recently got bought over by some big corp in Japan. On my offer letter with company(A) it stated that I will only be needing to serve one month notice. 2 questions1.Can I resign on today however choose to serve till end of December? Or Should I resign on December 1 and serve my 1 month notice? 2.Since company(B) got bought over and I've not signed any documents with the newly bought company my notice period will not be jeopardize right?(as in the company(B) will say"we just got bought over and we are now following the new policy that employee must serve x month according to Japan corp.") The reason I'm thinking of sending in my resignation earlier is due some work responsibilities and project hand over. I suggest you resign now. Since you already secured a job. Resign anytime now. Then take the remaining days as a break before the new work commence. Once you resign, whatever new policy shouldn't be able to apply to you.

QUOTE(Supermanreturn @ Jan 19 2016, 09:38 PM) My contract stated 7 days in notice. Is that means if I tender my resignation on 1 Feb, my last day will be 5 Feb? Thanks It is something like that. However some company expect you to work full 7 working days; some 1 eye close let you off early. Really depends on how your HR works in your company.

Depends on what field you in. if is a small field, our are most likely ton beblacklist by the current company, they will say bad things about you and you can't find any other jobs at are in the same field. Why can't learn in good terms?

QUOTE(Shinka @ Feb 24 2016, 02:22 PM) No, this is just a fictional scenario, as I am an employer lol. One of my employees is leaving, and there is a 2 month notice. As that employee is currently abusing the MC system, I was wondering what I can do about that employee. If he did not submit any documentation regarding the MC, then you can take action. With him submitting all the documentations, I doubt you can do anything about it, unless you get to find any fraud in his MC.  No limit on MC per year? I am wondering if the MC is claimable after you resign.

QUOTE(Shinka @ Feb 24 2016, 03:02 PM) The thing about my company is that we trust and empower employees to make their own decision. Normally we don't require MCs for most cases, its based on trust. It's a small company afterall. So now, I am actually in a predicament over this situation. By "taking action", what do you mean exactly? Sometimes no matter how small is the company, SOP is SOP. Is better to implement than "trust" the employee. Not that we don't trust, but it's a standard procedure. Take action as in ask for MC, then give the clinic a call. Since you think he is exploiting the loophole, you have the rights to do so.

QUOTE(Shinka @ Feb 24 2016, 03:21 PM) Understood, thanks for the advice! Anyway 1 more question, if I had fired that employee earlier, is it mandatory that he is entitled to that 3 months pay? His performance has never been very good from the beginning, and he is always late as well. Couldn't we use that to justify the sacking? as in sacking with reason. Bad performance, not up to par, bad in performing task, those are the possible reasons to use to void the 3 month pay lieu. As for lateness, I am not so sure. Be sure you provide evidence along with those reasons when you present. Concrete and valid evidence it is.

QUOTE(Shinka @ Feb 24 2016, 03:36 PM) Thanks Aurora, the thing is the employee has been given an opportunity many times to perform, and when I feel that his performance is not improving, I actually asked him to leave, instead of firing him directly. However, now he is playing all these funny tricks, presumably because he is unhappy. I am also hesitant to ask him to provide me a copy of a valid MC, as this is not a requirement for the other staff. He might claim that this is discrimination or that I am 'targeting' him directly. Do implement the proper procedure next month to save yourself some trouble. It is not a hassle to produce all these documentations, but is a must. Now you have learnt the lesson in the hard way. Employee will never think like employer. If they would think like you, they are their own boss now.

QUOTE(Manada @ Mar 1 2016, 10:05 AM) exactly! I told them my semester commenced on 29th March so I believe they already know that. So right now the problem is I rented a room near my campus and I wasted 2 weeks of rental fees if I did not move in on the 29th and the hassle I have to go through to send letters of absence to all my lecturers or else they will consider me absence for 1-week straight! (Not healthy as a scholarship recipient) *cries* But then, my dad said since I am internship there is no problem if I want to resign. Not much formality involved. Just give them a 1-week notice and I can leave already. Btw I havent ask them about it and I will do it 2-weeks before, so meaning next week. I'll probably inform the HR who hired me. Since you already knew you will be leaving prior the internship ends, you better inform the HR now and submit the letter before this week. Give them some extra time to find replacement, if they need.

QUOTE(xpole @ Mar 6 2016, 10:01 AM) Guys, I want to ask, let say you give resignation letter and it stated that you will resign on 31 March 2016. But suddenly, you HOD ask you to leave earlier than the expected date you will resign. Should I follow the expected date or follow the HOD instructions? Ask for terms and conditions. Some want you to leave earlier cause don't want to pay you so much, like my company. I resigned and hand in my letter on 12th Feb, the HR ask me boss to ask me leave earlier (deduct leave and everything, close to a week). But I insisted that I will work until the very last day, because I am hardworking like that.  And I want more money! This post has been edited by Belphegor: Mar 7 2016, 09:16 AM

QUOTE(Mr. HH @ Mar 8 2016, 09:06 AM) Hye all, lets say if I have worked for Company A for a month. Then I get an offer for other job. What reason should I tell my boss if he asked why you took their offer in the first place? Why you so gy, just started work still go for interview. Anyways, just be blunt and frank if the company is in the same field. You don't want people bad mouthing you behind your back. Else just give excuses like the culture in the company you cannot adapt.

I also been through that. I had 2 companies interviewed me previously and I rejected A much earlier before B proceed to offer me a position. Close to a month or two. Sometimes better not to take that kind of offer when you know your heart was set somewhere else.

QUOTE(Mr. HH @ Mar 8 2016, 11:22 AM) Haha. Nevermind. So you just gambling yourself la? U must be confident that u will be getting offer from B. Lol. Well, not exactly that I know I would be getting, is just that I don't mind staying in current company if I did not get any offers as I have a very good and understanding boss. Reason for me to leave the current company is because the company is a family business, so there's no room for you to grow, no corporate ladder for you to climb. Not to mention my company does not appreciate staff at all. :/

QUOTE(BabyZero @ Mar 20 2016, 02:15 PM) How I am suppose to resign when I am not signing any letter of offer / employment of the company? Even if you did not sign any offer letter or whatsoever, try to leave in good terms. Politely inform your employer that you want to resign due to (insert your reasons here), then hand in the letter and serve the notice that verbally agreed upon prior your work commencement.

QUOTE(Unwell @ Apr 14 2016, 12:13 PM) do company have the right to reject early termination buyout to reduce serving notice period? Yes, the company has to protect their right as an employer. Sometimes when the company could not find any suitable replacement in a pace that you could cut short your serving notice period, they can opt not to take the buyout termination.

QUOTE(jianwei90 @ Apr 20 2016, 11:21 PM) Hi, my notice period is 3 calendar months and my new company expect me to start work at the beginning of July.. May I know is it possible for me to backdate my resignation letter to April 1,2016 when submitting my resignation letter to HR tomorrow so that I can leave my current company by end of June? Thanks a lot for the help =) I don't think it is possible. The only way you can leave without hurting both side is that you cut short the notice period by pay in lieu, pay the balance of your working days with cash. So the question here is, can your future company pay the balance in lieu for you or you need to fork out yourself? I have friends who had a company that wants her so bad, the hiring company pay the balance of the in lieu for her so that she can start early. You need to talk to your future company, see if they willing to take this move. Else you need to pay by yourself.
