if u want to use ur earned leave to set off your notice period, i suggest you submit ur leave form first before you tender resignation. Otherwise, the company might not allow u to use your earn leave to offset ur resignation period;

and also it also depends whether ur boss allows u to do it or not.

if everyone ok, than everything should happen according to (a) - (e) as mentioned above.

hi thanks n sorry for late reply...
but i think once i submit my leave (online), my boss already kno!! haha...

anyway, regarding my resignation letter (base on my scenario), ok for me to put like dis :

I wish to inform the management that I would like to tender my resignation....
I hereby give one (1) month notice with effect from 1st July 2010.

My last working day will be on 11th July 2010 which I shall use my annual leave in
lieu of notice of termination from 12th~31th July 2010.


thanks.

"1 month notice as per the employment contract" would be better.

Also, are you sure you have 20 days leave? Some companies will prorate since you are not serving the full year.
