Frequently asked questions
- How much notice do I need to give when resigning in the UK?
- Under the Employment Rights Act 1996, the statutory minimum notice is at least 1 week if you have been employed continuously for 1 month or more. However, you must check your employment contract, which commonly specifies 1 month or 3 months.
- What happens to my unused holiday days when I resign?
- Under the UK Working Time Regulations 1998, employers are legally required to pay you in lieu for any accrued but untaken statutory annual leave (pro-rata for the holiday year up to your final working day).
- Does this resignation letter follow official ACAS standards?
- Yes. The generated letter includes all essential elements recommended by ACAS: explicit statement of resignation, contractual notice calculation, exact last working day, offer of handover cooperation, and formal signature.
