Document background
A Resignation Retraction Letter is used when an employee wishes to withdraw their previously submitted resignation and continue their employment relationship. This document should be submitted as soon as possible after the original resignation, ideally before the notice period expires. Under Singapore employment law, while there is no statutory right to retract a resignation, this formal request allows the employer to consider the withdrawal. The letter should reference the original resignation, provide a clear reason for the retraction, and demonstrate continued commitment to the role. The acceptance remains at the employer's discretion, particularly considering factors such as whether the position has been promised to another candidate.
