Document background
The Two Week Notice Letter is a standard professional document used in Irish employment contexts when an employee intends to voluntarily terminate their employment. This document serves as formal written notification to the employer, initiating the minimum notice period as required under Irish employment law. The letter should be used when an employee has decided to leave their position and wishes to maintain professional standards and good relationships while complying with legal and contractual obligations. It typically includes the official resignation date, last working day, transition plans, and may reference specific terms from the employment contract. The document is particularly important in Ireland as it helps ensure compliance with the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973 and related employment legislation, while also providing a clear record of the intended departure for both parties.
