Document background
The Notice of Intention to Leave is a crucial document in Irish employment relations, required whenever an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment. It must comply with Irish employment legislation, particularly regarding notice periods and employee obligations. The document serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the employee's intention to resign, establishes the notice period and final working day, ensures legal compliance with employment contracts and Irish law, and maintains professional relationships. The notice should be drafted with consideration of the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973 and any additional requirements specified in the employment contract. It creates a clear record of the resignation process and helps facilitate a smooth transition of responsibilities.
