Best way to resign?

[CheshireDing]

Hi, I have handed my notice in previously at jobs but this is a slightly different situation so I wasn't sure how best to deal with it and any thoughts are appreciated.

I am currently on ML and will be resigning with a few weeks less notice than is "officially" required. Could they legally be difficult with me over this? It was not intentional it has just happened this way.

I have not been in to work since on ML as it's quite far away (and I am pretty sure they could not have cared less about seeing me anyway), how should I best therefore hand my resignation letter in? Would it be acceptable to post it?

Should I put in my letter something about holidays accrued and Bank Holidays whilst I have been off?

Hi if you are on ml could you ask for parental leave to be tagged on to make up difference iyswim? That way you are still serving notice without physically returning.

I am doing this in my old job before I start new job (same company). They have allowed me 4 weeks unpaid parental leave to serve notice which keeps my service intact. HTH

I think you should take this guy's lead

They are not paying me anything now anyway M1 so I don't think Parental Leave would make any difference (I presume).

I would if I had won the lottery Collaborate ;)

Will your accrued leave be sufficient to cover your notice period if you tag it onto the end of your maternity leave? No issue if so. If you work for an organisation with a dedicated HR team they should be experienced in dealing with this type of issue - in theory if you don't give sufficient notice your employer could require you to come back and work your notice out but in practice it's unlikely to do so. It's fine to send your resignation letter by post or email but perhaps a courtesy call to your manager in the first instance might be a good idea to help smooth along the process.
