Document background
The Quitting Job For Mental Health Letter is a crucial document used in Irish employment contexts when an employee needs to resign from their position due to mental health concerns. It serves as a formal record of resignation while protecting the employee's rights under Irish employment law, including the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015 and relevant health and safety legislation. This document type is particularly important as it helps maintain professional relationships while addressing sensitive health matters, ensures compliance with notice periods, and protects the employee's privacy rights under GDPR. The letter should be used when an employee has determined that their current role is significantly impacting their mental health and has decided to terminate their employment, whether following medical advice or personal decision.
