Resignation Questions?

[silver.shorts]

Me, newbie here.

Anyone can clarify?

If I were to submit my resignation letter on 15 September and to serve 1 month notice, should my last day be 15 October or 14 October?

My boss is not around during this period. Should I call him and inform him about my resignation and put the letter on his table OR send him an email informing my regisnation OR just place the resignation letter on his table and wait for his return (after 2 weeks) to find out?

Thanks.

Huh ?? A 2 men company ? You and your boss ?

IF this being the case, it is better to send in the official letter and an email since he is out of town.

No, no, theres also HR department and my colleagues but we report to only one big Boss.

Legally speaking, you just need to submit your resignation to the HR department and that is what HR dept is for regardless whether they report to one boss or not.

14 Oct will be your last day if your employment contract stipulates you to give 1 month notice. There are other conditions in your employment contract, so please read that contract carefully.

Just to add 1 more point to the correct info by Kuntakinte...it is an offence for your boss to reject your resignation. He MUST release you after 14th Oct 2008.

is dat 1 day difference very important? ...

best is check wif ur hr dept ppl ... ask dem if u want ur last day 2 b dat date exactly, how u shld date ur letter ...

If you have already decided to leave, then submit it

Regarding your boss, you have two options:

(1) give your boss an sms, email and spoil his holiday (or help him celebrate even more, i do not know)

(2) wait for your boss to return and explain why you tell him only after his holiday

Finally, if that one day difference is important to you, check with the HR as suggested by some here (i presume you used up all your leave)

He need to report to others ship at 14 oct. Actually one day not a big deal. Just call and tell them nicely.

just send your letter to ur HR Dept,since your boss is not around.
the last day of work should be 14 Oct 2008 or earlier if you have any balance leave to offset.

wish you all the best in your new job.

To avoid any confusion with the reader, it's best if you specify your intended last day of work after the notification period.
