Before you hand in the letter
Hand in two copies and ask for a registration number on yours. The employer must register the resignation; if it refuses, you may prove it by any means — for example, registered post with acknowledgement of receipt, or e-mail (Art. 81(2)).
You do not have to give a reason (Art. 81(3)).
The notice period is the one in your individual or applicable collective contract, but no more than 20 working days for non-management roles and 45 working days for management roles (Art. 81(4)).
During the notice period the contract runs as normal: you work and are paid. If the contract is suspended (for example, sick leave), the notice period is suspended accordingly (Art. 81(5)–(6)).
The contract ends when the notice period expires, or earlier if the employer waives all or part of it (Art. 81(7)).
Untaken annual leave is paid in money when the contract ends (Art. 146(3)).
Alternative wording for the notice paragraph
Asking to waive the notice: “I kindly ask you to waive all/part of my notice period so that my last working day is [PREFERRED DATE] (Article 81(7) of the Labour Code).”
Without notice because the employer is in breach: “I resign without notice under Article 81(8) of the Labour Code, as the employer has not [OBLIGATION NOT MET, E.G. PAID MY SALARY FOR …].”
During the probation period: not a resignation with notice, but a written notification, with no notice period and no reason needed (Art. 31(3)): “I hereby notify you that I am ending my individual employment contract during the probation period, as of [DATE].”
