Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Resignation with No Notice Period Provided

Where an Employee resigns with immediate effect (particularly if the Employee has more than two years’ service) consideration should be given to the risk of a potential constructive dismissal claim (and/or, in some cases, a discrimination claim).

In those cases, it may be appropriate to first use the template Reply to Heat of the Moment Resignation Letter.  We would recommend seeking advice prior to acknowledging any such resignation.
