Document background
The Notice of Intention to Leave is a crucial document in Pakistani employment relationships, required when an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment. It must comply with the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance 1968 and relevant provincial labor laws, which typically require notice periods ranging from 30 days for management positions to 14 days for other roles. This document serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the employee's intention to resign, confirms the notice period, specifies the last working day, and initiates the transition process. It should be professionally drafted to maintain good relationships while ensuring legal compliance. The notice should be submitted to both the immediate supervisor and HR department, with specific attention to contractual notice period requirements and any additional company-specific policies.
