Document background
The Leaving Job Letter is a crucial professional document used across the United States when an employee decides to terminate their employment. It serves multiple purposes: providing formal notice of resignation, maintaining professional relationships, documenting the departure date for HR records, and initiating the transition process. While U.S. employment law generally doesn't require written notice, a formal letter is considered best practice and may be required by employment contracts or company policies. The document typically outlines the departure timeline, transition plans, and maintains a professional tone regardless of the circumstances of departure.
