FAQ
How much notice should I give in a resignation letter?
In the US, two weeks’ notice is the common professional standard unless your contract says otherwise. In Australia, check your award, enterprise agreement, or employment contract — notice often depends on length of service. Put the final working day clearly in the letter.
What should a resignation letter include?
Your name and contact details, the date, your manager’s name and company, a clear statement that you are resigning, your last day of work, optional brief reason, a short appreciation line, and a closing with your signature.
Can I use this template for email as well as print?
Yes. Fill the letter here, then copy the body into an email or print a signed hard copy. See the resignation email tips page for subject-line and send-time guidance.
Is my draft stored on a server?
No. Drafts stay in this browser’s localStorage on your device. You can also export or import a JSON backup. Clearing site data removes local drafts. Nothing is uploaded.
Will empty fields print placeholder text?
No. Empty fields print blank. On-screen placeholders are editing hints only and are hidden for print / Save PDF.
Can I resign effective immediately?
Sometimes, but check your contract, handbook, or (AU) award first. See immediate resignation, then state your last day clearly here. Managers may also need an acceptance letter.
