Ending an employment contract is a process worth handling professionally and without conflict. Good relations with a former employer can bring valuable references in the future.
A written notice should contain the necessary formal elements: the date, the details of both parties, a statement that you are terminating the contract with the notice period, and your signature.
Before you hand in the document, it is worth talking to your manager in person and explaining the reasons for your decision, which helps avoid misunderstandings.
Key tips:
- Do it in writing: the notice of termination should be made in writing.
- Work out the notice period: make sure you know exactly when your employment ends.
- Hand over your duties: prepare documentation and onboarding for the person who will take over your tasks.
- Ask for a reference: before you leave, ask your manager for a written opinion of your work.
