Does anyone know if it is acceptable to hand in notice via email, i really can't be bothered with driving into work with it as they don't have a letter box!
I would have thought it was ok, but you never know these days.
Cheers....
yep - should be.
It may depend upon your terms of employment. Some companies don't recognise an e-mail as a legally binding document.
send it registered post, then someone else has to take it in for you and you have proof it arrived. or courier it, if it has to get there today.
What's the job? Where is it based and are they looking for a replacement?
Big bikebash, its a general manager for a furniture manufacturing co, in wilts and looks like the comp is in trouble!! I'm jumping and starting my own company!!
Thanks for the replies chaps.
be a man and do it face to face 😀
or as you say hide behind the sofa and press send 😉
I just resigned today. Has to be a letter at my place of work.
I would do but as i said can't be bothered with the hassle, they know it's coming as i have already told them "face to face" they just want it in writing and this means another journey.
Heathy, I have done so before with no problems but they did want a hard copy after the event.
Could I be so cheeky as to ask, Is it a company which might sound like "tiny" or "small" then "to prepare a fish"
(if that does not make any sense I presume its not them)
Do you mean pinetum, then no. However they are only up the road from me!!
Smallbone ?
heathy - for completeness, put it into hard copy (letter) and send it special delivery. It needs to be signed for, and is trackable (unlike registered, which is a crock).
That way there can be no future dispute as to whether it has been received. Also, check your employment contract - there may be special rules on notices in there.
Ah smallbone's, no, they too are just up the road, a few old colleagues were laid off recently.
I'm going to write it out manually and deliver my self then!
I used to work there, not a good place at all......
An email is OK to let them know but I think most places will always want it in writing as a follow up, but they should take the email as formal notice though.
I'm going to write it out manually and deliver my self then!
just a letter should be fine - no need for a sacrificial offering!
Ha, no they have had enough of my soul already! Enough's enough, time to start working for my self!!
Can't you send a "tweat"?
I did. Wrote the e-mail half-pissed, too. Is was that or speak to him face-to-face half-pissed. Then my boss didn't even read it, had to phone him the next to check and he read it while I was on the other end. Hahahha, he was ****.
More importantly what you doing for work next? Pimping?
I just typed it up and walked over to my boss-ooh that was difficult unless you're on sick leave or holiday.
Don't burn your bridges.
I did, and cc'ed my home email
The Personnel Puppy (who was one of the reasons I left) replied asking for a "hard copy"
I replied as follows
"File | Print"
No more questions
