Resigned no response

chrisd8780

Posted a letter of resignation on Friday, E-mailed the same letter yesterday morning but no reply from employer. Bizarre.

Currently on long term sick with a note what would cover one weeks notice period.
Find it a bit strange to have no reply, owed lots of holiday money from the company so a bit stressed.

What sort of a response are you expecting? If you posted it on Friday, it probably got delivered on Monday or Tuesday. The normal response would be to write a letter of reply acknowledging the resignation, but that could easily take 2-3 days to get to you. I know we would respond to a resignation with a letter, but it might take a day or two to discuss internally and draft the reply. If you want a response, ring them up and check they have received it.

A response to the e-mail would have been ok. Just to say I can confirm we have received your letter and are in the process of drafting a response. Worked a lot of years for them.

All sorts of things may be happening at the office, the manager can be away on leave, they are considering what to do next in terms of replacement - don't necessarily imagine the worst

Well you have an absolute legal right to the accrued holiday etc so, by one means or another you will get it.

Probably too late but are you sure you are doing the right thing? The normal advice in case of long term sickness is to sit it out and let the firm make all the moves.

Got legal advice before making the decision. Not helped by stupid ESA rules eg you can carry a cardboard box so your ok to work. Gone through appeals etc. If it had been assessed on my job then I would have passed. Refused other benefits because of being technically employed. Done some free courses while off work and applied for light jobs while off work but no experience so always miss out.

What benefits were you refused? By resigning you won't be eligible for job seekers allowance.

Not so.

If the OP resigned on medical grounds and has evidence to support this it should not be a problem to get JSA.

JSA as I was technically employed.
And income support as I wasn't a single mother, carer etc.

You can get jobseekers allowance if you resigned for a good reason eg health, hostile work environment
