Resignation Letter
A professional resignation letter for employees in Canadian common-law provinces. States your last day, gives the notice your contract or reasonable notice requires, optionally offers a transition/handover, thanks the employer, and requests confirmation of final pay and record of employment. An employee's notice obligation comes from the employment contract and the common law (reasonable notice of resignation), not the ESA's employer-notice rules. Quebec is civil law and is covered by the French-language templates.
