A Resignation And Employment Law
When your employment is terminated, you may be entitled to reasonable notice or payment in lieu, particularly if the termination is without cause. However, it is a different story when you choose to resign.
A resignation, when genuine, can be the end of your entitlement to reasonable notice. In other words, if you voluntarily resign, you may be giving up your right to a notice period.
Exceptions do exist, including situations where your resignation was the result of duress, bullying, harassment, or if it was a sudden decision made “in the heat of the moment.”
