Notice

It would always be better to provide a notice in writing. As the saying goes, "if it's not documented, it did not happen". This is especially needed when handing warnings and disciplinary/performance memos. You just have to be very careful in what it contains and it should be fair to both. Once handed over, make sure you give the chance to explain orally. Written notices should be signed by both as acknowledgment of the notice. Oral notices is best as follow ups to written once. As mentions, it is a way to explain things and for them to understand why the notice was given and what basis. It should be included in the document but sometimes, they feel more comfortable if it is talked about before signing it. Once signed, everything pretty much flows along. take care.

sometimes orally n sometimes by notice. it actually depends on the situation how it is

Both, these things are usually kept on file and this way there is written documentation to protect you and your employer from any misunderstandings. Also, tell your employer why you are leaving and if you can, share the reason.

Hi there justincho! I believe that the best way to hand in your notice would be in writing. There are some organizations that are not really strict when it comes to this area. Most of the time, notifying them orally of any concerns or issues would suffice. There are also organizations that require all notifications be done in writing as this will be filed. There are also organizations that would accept both. In the organization that I work for, my boss can be notified orally but would later on require it to be in writing for formality sake.

In writing always. This way you have evidence of notice given and reasons/dates, etc. When I have given notice at positions, I do so in person and in writing. It just seems more professional that way. And, of course the notice in writing is just common sense in this day and age, when anything can come back on you for any reason (not most of the time, but every once in awhile. I have never had any repercussions, but know those who have). It is always better to CYB!!!

Put together a nice letter, then pay a visit to your supervisor and tell/him her that you are handing in your resignation. Hand over your letter. Remain polite and cordeal. If you have been a good employee, he/she may tray to persuade you to stay. Be prepared for being offered a raise or better job. Your supervisor may also react bitter, depending on your timing (like it's the busiest time of the year for your department) or shortage of people. Always remain nice. You never know when you encounter these people again.

A written notice is more professional. That way you will have a record of what you said.Usually most companies require a two week notice. Not sure what kind of company you are working for, bur I think a written notice will leave you in good standing, in case you ever need a reference from them.
