Commentary
 
While it is not necessary for you to accept an employee’s resignation because resignation is a unilateral act which does not require the consent of the employer, it is good business practice for you to acknowledge receiving an employee’s resignation and to confirm the final date of employment.
 
When acknowledging receipt of a resignation, you should also confirm whether the employee has complied with the conditions of their contract, for example:
  • to provide written notice of resignation;
  • to return all employer property;
  • to provide the required amount of notice of resignation. 
  
When an employee resigns, you should also check any relevant award or enterprise agreement which applied to the employee to ascertain whether you are required to provide the employee with a statement of service.
 
When the employee’s final date of employment approach, it is advisable to use a checklist to ensure all relevant steps are taken to finalise the employment. The Resignation Checklist on HR Advance can be used for this purpose.
