my manager ripped it up and said he is not accepting it, he dont want to lose me I am a valued member of staff.
Surely he cant do that can he?

I always make copies of things that I give to my manager. I put the date and time I handed the notice in. I will give the copy to my MD

I have another job in the new year, same salary, closer to home within walking distance, at my current place, I have to catch two buses.
Hell nor high water can stop me leaving my current workplace!

You are in a very strong position; he is telling you that he wants to negotiate to keep you.
Why do you want to go, what improvements do you want to see 'for you', what pay-rise do you want etc etc.
You are in a strong position, take advantage of it to change your current job for the better with-out the aggro of leaving to find a new job. Don't 'over-egg' your position though, be sensible.
Of course if you already have a new job, your terms are not met or you are just so fed up with it that you want to go........go! Work your notice and leave.
Be happy, you have the upper hand.......use it!

if u are in america, you are in strong position and he is trying to negotiate to keep u
if u are in britain, this is a common occurrence he is trying to 'spoil' your move either by complicating it or putting you under stress - its probly cos its xmas, he doesnt want u to stay but a lot of companies budget to have more staff at xmas so if staff are leaving that are trained its not good
be very careful, document and time everything - i would go above his head but u should know that if u do that it will affect the atmosphere while you leave, if things get worse you can claim constructive unfair dismissal and leave early
this does not mean much as you only have a month there but it does mean that you can leave straight away (without working notice) and they cant mention anything about it in your reference or you would be in an extremely positive position if it went to court

You need to consult your contract of employment and find out exactly what your period of notice is and give that. If you are prepared to stay now would be the time to consider on exactly what terms you are prepared to stay! You have the upper hand by the sounds of it!! I f you do want to leave, post you notice letter recorded delivery, stand firm and work your notice.
All the best!

Send him the same letter, but get it sent via a solicitor with their letter head and have it registered. That way you have a paper trail to allow you to take it to a tribunal. It should only cost you 35-40 quid tops. What satisfaction when you see him sign for it and have a good read.

i f you like the job negotiate for better terms and conditions, if not ask him to put down in writing why he wants to keep you, (very important this as he might not give you a great reference when you leave,) Then date a new letter of resignation and keep a copy give your boss the other then leave according to the terms of your contract.

well, your manager was a little mellow-dramatic but nevertheless, i would have found it a bit flattering that he wants me to stay. don't worry about him ripping it up. has nothing to do with you leaving. it technically doesn't have to be in writing. you gave your notice and that's it. if it would make you feel better, speak to someone in the HR dept. so that someone else knows that you will be leaving.
good luck on your new job.

You delivered it. He got it. You have a copy with a note that you gave it to him on a specific date and time.
Proceed as if he got it and kept it. Your last day is as stated on your notice. Good Luck

He is just trying to show you how much he wants you to stay. If you really want to leave you have given him your notice already and should point this out then work your notice.

I hope you kept a copy of your notice. If you didn't, give it to him again and tell him you really do wish to leave, and intend to.
