Document background
A Quit Job Letter is a formal written document used when an employee wishes to voluntarily terminate their employment relationship with their current employer. This document is essential in the Canadian employment context as it provides official written notice of resignation, which is often required by both company policies and provincial employment standards. The letter should align with notice period requirements under Canadian employment law, which vary by province and position level. A well-drafted Quit Job Letter maintains professionalism, confirms the last working day, addresses transition arrangements, and serves as official documentation of the employee's voluntary departure. It's particularly important in Canadian jurisdictions where written notice is often expected and may impact final pay calculations and employment records.
