Can a company or manager present an employee with the option to turn in a resignation letter Pre dated towards the end of a month and have you not work until that date? Basically an invitation to leave by a certain date? If anyone has seen that scenario and have some insight that’d be great help. Thank you.

Dear Lilac,
The word "resign" generally has three meanings depending on context. One is to relinquish or quit a job or an official position voluntarily, the second is to yield without resistance, and the third is to renounce something. The first and the last imply voluntariness, while the second suggests an inability to withstand something overpowering or a forced submission. Philosophically and legally, voluntariness refers to a choice made out of free will, opposed to a decision made under duress or coercion.
In the realm of employment, "resignation" falls under the first meaning, referring to the unilateral termination of the employment contract by the employee, whether express or implied.
If a resignation is obtained by the employer, whether predated or undated, it amounts to coercion as the choice given is not about resignation but about its timing only. Resignation takes effect only from the date of formal relieving after acceptance by the employer, subject to conditions stipulated in the employment contract such as notice period or payment in lieu of notice, compliance with employment bond terms, repayment of loans or advances if applicable. If all conditions are waived upon acceptance, the resignation takes immediate effect. This may signify goodwill or a firm resolve on the employer's part to part ways with an unwanted employee hassle-free.
Hope this clarifies the point.
