Dear Seniors,

I am Neetha, and I work for an IT company. There is an issue that needs to be resolved. One of our senior employees has submitted their resignation, but our directors have not yet accepted it. I would like to clarify whether the concerned person is required to serve the notice period based on the Date of Resignation or from the Date of Acceptance.

Seniors, please assist me in resolving this matter.

Thanks & Regards,
Neetha

Hi,

The date he has mentioned in his resignation letter, from that day, he will be on the notice period. He has submitted his papers. If the directors are not accepting them, that's not the employee's problem.

Hi Neetha, Greetings for the day! The concern person has to serve the notice period, on the basis of 'date of his resignation' letter.

Hi Neetha,

First of all, what is the issue that your boss still did not accept his resignation letter? Secondly, the resignation letter can be effective once your boss signs his resignation letter. Then, through a formal letter, you can inform him of his resignation letter and the paperwork that needs to be completed, such as handover, final dues, ID card, office equipment, and clearance certificate, to be more formal. In the future, he can contact you freely for reference checks. However, as you said, he is working at a senior level and needs to compromise with the CEO to leave the organization in a good manner.

Dear Neetha,

His notice period starts from the date of his resignation and not from the date of acceptance. The employee can withdraw his resignation at any point in time, but his service period is to be considered as the notice period after receiving the resignation letter.

Every appointment letter/offer letter mentions that the employee has to give a "notice" of x days/y months if he/she wants to resign from the company. So if the employee has given the "notice" to resign, it starts from the date he hands over the same to "competent" authority.

I am also sure that no appointment letter mentions that the resignation notice will be deemed to be effective from the date it is accepted by the management. If and only if such a clause exists in the appointment letter and the same is accepted by the employee can a situation arise where the effective date of the resignation will be the acceptance date and not the date of the resignation. Otherwise, as everyone has mentioned above, the notice period starts from the date the notice is given in writing.
