withdraw of notice

XYZ1000

Hi

Does anyone know who's decision it is if an employee wishes to retract their notice?

Is it only the manager's or is HR involved?

thanks

No, nobody knows (because it will vary from company to company, and in some cases from manager to manager - for example, depending on whether the manager has already informed HR of the resignation).

If you've resigned by email, you could try recalling the email, however.

It will depend on the company and they way they operate. To answer a possibly underlying question - you have no legal right to withdraw notice once you have had it accepted.

Realistically unless there is something you are not telling us either party would be able to see it through if they wanted rid of you.

Why dont you enquire with HR, they would direct you to right person if they cant do it.

The decision will almost certainly fall to the manager.

Was the resignation a heat of the moment affair?

modern cases draw a distinction between the deliberate giving of notice (by either party) and a resignation or dismissal given in the "heat of the moment". In such circumstances (usually following some form of argument) it is incumbent on the recipient to ascertain whether the other party really meant what he said (kwik-fit GB limited. V lineham)

I applied for another job a few days after. I didn't give notice until I was interviewed and got the other job. Its with the same firm.Then onward and upwards.

Was going to take out a grievance but didn't. Have discussed with HR a few times for advice.This isn't the function of HR, they advise the employer.

I don't really understand HR's function but I called Acas a few weeks ago and explained the situation and they advised to ask for a meeting with a higher manager or HR all of us together. I didn't as thought it would perhaps make the situation worse.

My pension is with the company as I have been there a fair few years. The job I got is a lower pay than I was on. Hence why the original question as starting to feel I shouldn't be bullied out of a job that pays well.

Sorry you don't understand it but I trying to seek advise but can't give the whole picture.

To try and protect the company from the problems staff can cause!

OK, that is a bit flippant but it is not far from the truth. They are not on you side or even a neutral arbitrator.

If you have handed in your notice all you can do is ask the company nicely if you can withdraw it. You cannot force them to keep you on. Who decides (manager, his boss and / or the HR department is entirely up to the company).

The may say yes or they may say no. Or they could even agree to re-employ you but only on different terms.

If you've handed in your notice then the person to speak to us your manager, and unless you have good grounds for the kind of 'heat of the moment' claim as outlined above it really is up to them whether they let you take it back or not. They're well within their rights to say no and that you've handed in your notice, you're going...

And I've advised employees of this before in a HR capacity.

If your manager won't let you take it back and you still want to stay then I suppose go to their manager to see if you can take back your resignation and move somewhere else; could be a long shot though.
