Resignation Acceptance Letter
About this document
A ready-to-send letter accepting an employee’s resignation and confirming the practical arrangements for their departure, with alternative paragraphs for working notice, garden leave, pay in lieu, early release and short notice. It also includes guidance on unclear or “heat of the moment” resignations and a leaver’s checklist.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
