Document background
The Intent to Quit Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian employment relationships, required whenever an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment. This formal communication must align with the Nigerian Labour Act and typically needs to provide notice as specified in the employment contract or statutory minimum notice periods. The letter serves multiple purposes: it officially documents the employee's decision to resign, establishes the final working day, and initiates the formal process of employment termination. It should be professional in tone and comprehensive in content, including key information such as the resignation date, notice period, and handover arrangements. The document is particularly important in Nigeria's formal business environment, where proper documentation of employment matters is essential for both legal compliance and professional relationships.
