Pending Letters Kate

What is an immediate resignation letter?

Employees are required to give prior notice to the employer when they want to leave the company. However, there are some situations in which the employee writes an immediate resignation. This resignation does not have any notice period and conveys a message to the employer that the employee has to leave the company immediately.

Writing immediate resignation due to Contracted Disease

People often feel the need to resign instantly when they know about contracted [X]. We all know that contracting is an infectious disease that spreads from person to person, even through touching. Therefore, one must be careful when living with contractable disease to prevent it from spreading. 

When someone has caught a disease, they should not visit the office even once. It is better to stay in isolation. Some employees apply for sick leave when it is brought to their knowledge that they are diagnosed positive. But, sometimes, the company cannot afford to give sick leave and therefore wants to hire an immediate replacement. In this situation, the employee himself decides, or the company asks him to write a resignation letter that will be effective immediately.

How to write a goodbye letter without any notice?

Everyone in the professional world knows it is important to inform the boss and give prior notice when communicating their decision to leave the workplace. When a worker leaves the company with one or more weeks’ notice, he maintains a professional relationship with this employer, which will be helpful for him in future references and recommendations.

This life is unpredictable, and sometimes things drastically change to the extent that they require us to behave differently. Sometimes, we do not remain in the position to resign with the notice. Instead, we say goodbye without notice. Even if we must do that, we should be careful how we write and what level of courtesy we show.

Follow the tips given below and write an effective letter:

Read your employment contract carefully:

When you join the company, you must read and agree to all the terms and conditions. If you don’t remember, review the contract again and see what it says about the situation when you must resign immediately. This will enable you to decide what you should do and how.

Talk to your manager:

Since you have contracted the disease and can’t visit the company, talk to your manager on the phone and tell him that you have decided to resign because of your health issues. You have a genuine reason to leave, and the manager may understand your situation.

Be grateful:

In the resignation letter, remember to show gratitude to your boss. This will allow you to tell your boss that you have no complaints about the work and are leaving because of your health, which is deteriorating due to the disease.
