Frequently asked questions
How do I write a resignation letter?
State that you're resigning and from which role, give your last working day, and offer to help with the handover. Keep it short and professional — you don't have to explain your reasons in detail. This tool builds that wording from a few details.
How much notice do I need to give?
That depends on your situation, so this tool doesn't tell you a number. Check your employment contract, award or agreement if you are unsure about your required notice period, and see the Fair Work Ombudsman for guidance.
Can I resign by email?
Yes. A written resignation by email or letter is fine for most roles and creates a clear record. Choose the 'Email' letter type for an email version, or 'Standard letter' for a formal letter.
Is immediate resignation okay?
Resigning with immediate effect isn't always appropriate and can have consequences depending on your contract and award. The 'Immediate resignation' option only provides neutral wording — please check your contract, award or agreement, and the Fair Work Ombudsman, before deciding.
Does this tool store what I type?
No. Your details are only used to build your letter on this page. Nothing is saved and there's no sign-up.
