Hi, sorry for this noob question. Do I need to put my resignation letter into an envelope with all those "To: Director bla3.." and seal it when handing it to said person in the "To"? Because last time when I was in uni got this lecturer asked us to do such when we are absent from his class even when he's in his office and you are giving it to him straight face to face. 1 curious guy then ask that lecturer why need to do so he said next time when we already working bla3 every official thing need to do like that. I don't know how true is that that's why I'm asking here.

Btw, the person that I should be giving the letter is my Managing Director and he's always available, door opened, and sit just in the adjacent room. I never saw those that resigned before me do that and I also don't want to ask my other colleague, afraid later they ask me tons of question like why want to resign bla3 etc...

p/s: I already search for the keyword "envelope" in this thread but found none. Just in case someone already has the same query as me before.

Lol since there's no one answered me quickly when I post I just went away and proceed with the envelope. But that also alfter googling "resignation letter envelope" and some of the results did say it could be done so. I'm already resigned from that job for 2 months now as of today. Anyway, here's my experience on what I did in case someone else have the same curiosity:

1. Print 2 copies of the resignation letter.
2. Get a white envelope. Print (or write also can) on the envelope the "To: Director, {Company Name}, {Company Address}."
3. Fold and put the 1st letter into the envelope. No need to seal/glue the envelope. The second letter just leave it unfolded as nice as possible.
4. Wait for boss to be in his office. When he's finally there, go to him with both the envelope and the unfolded letter. Hand him the envelope and TELL HIM I'M RESIGNING. He showed a surprise face (I don't know whether it's due to the envelope of because I'm resigning  ). He opened the envelope and read2 the letter and start his interrogation. When the questioning ends, I asked him whether he need the unfolded one. He said ok just leave it there, at least no need to photocopy to the secretary cum HR  .

That's all! 

Hi all,

I have a situation where I’m not sure whether I should continue to fight for my resignation date. I need your advice.

I had tendered my resignation letter on 28/4, I have to serve 3 months’ notice.

My new employer is willing to buy out my 1 month notice so my resignation date should fall on 27/6 (Buy out from 28/6 – 27/7).

However, my current employer insisted that 27/6 is a Public Holiday and the buy out should start from 24/6 instead, which is more than 1 month. In other words, I have to pay for notice in lieu for 24/6 – 27/6 on my own.

Is this a normal practice by HR? Is there anything I can do about it? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I still have few days AL but I'm planning to encash them.

Not working yet. Haven't look for job either. Just enjoying my free time now 

I checked with my HR, my company practice is buy out start on the day after my last physical working day in the company. Anyway, I changed my last working day to mid-week, so I still get paid over the weekend and PH.
