Document background
An Intent to Quit Letter is a crucial employment document used in the Australian workplace context to formally communicate an employee's decision to terminate their employment. This document must comply with Australian employment law, particularly the notice period requirements under the Fair Work Act 2009 and any applicable Modern Awards or Enterprise Agreements. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides official documentation of the resignation, confirms the intended last day of employment, and helps maintain professional relationships. It should be written professionally and include key information such as the employee's details, position, intended last working day, and any relevant transition arrangements. This document is particularly important as it may be referenced for future employment verifications and ensures compliance with legal record-keeping requirements.
