need to know so i can put it in my letter

Answer 1

Date of resignation isn't necessarily the day you stop working. Date the letter the same as the date you will deliver the letter. Warning: Some employers might expect that you're leaving the day of, but generally a resignation letter is the same as a notice - Generally two weeks.

Answer 2

Your resignation date is the date you turn in the letter. You can turn it in two weeks early giving notice that you want date certain to be your last day, and that is the date your resignation is effective.

Answer 3

I would include an effective date for a resignation, perhaps 2 weeks down the road. I would also be prepared if my employer did not want these two weeks and wanted me to leave on the day I tendered my resignation letter. After all it does not sound like you are quitting so some notice would seem appropriate. It could be argued that the person leaving could cause harm to "Team Spirit," whether intentional or not so you might get a: "thanks for offering the two weeks notice, but no thanks..."

Answer 4

Normally, your last day should be two weeks after turning in your letter. Remember, don't burn any bridges. Keep your resignation positive. You never know when or if you might need to work with these people again.

Answer 5

Well state in your resignation letter the position your resigning from and that your looking for another job. Then state that you enjoyed working with a great staff. Also mention effective date of resignation which is two weeks notice and in closing thank your employer for your time with the company.

Answer 6

On your resignation letter, you should state when your last day is or say something like "this is my two-week notice". Thank the employer for giving you the opportunity to grow and learn. You never want to burn bridges...just in case!

Answer 7

Put the date that you give him the letter at the top. In the body of the letter put the date that you PLAN to be your last day of work.
Just be prepared that the day you give him the letter may be your last day. Many employees will let you go the day you tell them of your pending departure, so that you do not disrupt other employees.

Answer 8

The date you hand him the letter, and you should put it in your letter, is your date of resignation. The last day of work is the date last at work, and is optional in the letter, should be semi-flexable.

Answer 9

put a date at the top of the letter (like you should do on any formal letter). This is your resignation date.

then, in the letter, state what your last day of employment will be.

There are tons of sample resignation letters on the internet. check them out. number one rule: keep it simple.

Answer 10

Generally speaking, you give two weeks notice that you'll be leaving. So the date on your letter is when that 2 weeks would begin. FYI, it is customary to put when your last day will actually be in the letter so they've got it in writing.
