Document background
The Informal Two Weeks Notice Letter is a standard document used in Irish workplace settings when an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment. While Irish employment law may require longer notice periods based on length of service and contract terms, the two-week notice period is commonly accepted for many positions. This document serves as written confirmation of the resignation, protecting both parties' interests while maintaining professional relationships. The letter should be used when an employee has decided to leave their position and wants to provide a reasonable transition period. It typically includes the formal resignation statement, last working day, basic handover plans, and acknowledgment of the employment opportunity. While informal in tone, the document should still maintain professionalism and comply with Irish employment legislation.
