Understanding Verbal Resignation and Salary Dispute in Private Organizations - CiteHR

Hi, I am working in a private organization. One day, I took a break, and when I came back to the floor, my manager called me and used a local language (non-professional) because I took extra breaks. Due to this, I told him I would leave. When I asked HR about the salary, he said I would only be paid for the day I served the company, not the whole month's salary. When I questioned how it could be treated as a resignation when I hadn't given a written resignation letter, he explained that since I verbally informed the manager of my intention to leave and discussed it with colleagues, it would be considered as RESIGNED. Is this correct, or can I do something?

A verbal resignation is acceptable to a company. A written resignation is simply a matter of a written record of the resignation. From your post, it seems to me that you want to, in effect, withdraw the resignation. To do this, you must write to your manager, apologizing for taking the extra breaks and request that you be allowed to withdraw your resignation, which was made in the heat of the moment. In the letter, you must assure him that you are a hard worker and that you will not make foolish mistakes again. Your letter should reflect your sincerity. You should cc the letter to HR as well.

I hope the above helps.
