There isn't any requirement for a resignation to bne in writing, so just do a letter to them, reference the conversation and accept their resignation and set out their final date.

e.g.

"further to our conversatipon of [date] when you verbally tendered your resignation, I confirm that in accordaance with you contact, your notice will expire on [date] which will be your last day of employment. "

If you want, you can check how much holiday they have left and can say that you require them to take that during their notice period (which may bring their last day forward).

You can also include in your letter anything else which might be relevant - for instnace, arrangemtns for returning any comapny owned property in their posession.

I've worked under contracts that did specify "in writing" but I suppose this could be varied by the employer.

Yes, if you have a contractual requirement then that's a little different, but the OP didn't mention that their organisation has that requirement.

If that is the situation then they can still write to the employe and then ask them to sign and return one copy of the letter to confirm.
