Resignation Letter Generator
Write a clear, professional resignation letter with your notice period and last working day worked out, an offer to help with the handover and a request to confirm final pay and holiday.
About this tool
Check your contract for your notice period: if it doesn’t say, the legal minimum in the UK is one week once you’ve worked somewhere for a month. Notice normally starts the day after you hand in your letter, so the tool works out your last working day from the date and period you enter; if you’ve agreed a different date with your manager, enter it instead. You don’t have to give a reason for leaving.
It’s worth asking your employer to confirm your last day, final pay and any holiday owed in writing. Holiday you’ve built up but not taken is normally paid in your final salary, and you’ll be sent a P45 to give to your next employer. Keep the tone positive whatever the circumstances; the letter stays on your file and may inform future references. Your details are remembered on this device.
