How to quit your job properly?

Work should bring not only a stable income, but also pleasure. If any of this is missing, sooner or later the moment will come when you want to quit. Many people are afraid to leave, however, if everything is done correctly, you will suffer minimal losses.


Notify in advance of resignation

It is necessary to understand that for the employer the message about yours will most likely be a shock. After all, he will have to look for a new employee in your place, and this is fraught with losses of strength and finances. Therefore, it is necessary to warn about your care in advance. This is stated in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The minimum period for reporting termination is two weeks. But during this time it is very difficult to find a replacement, so it is desirable to warn about leaving as early as possible, for example, for a month and a half. If there is a good relationship between you and your boss, then your act can even be regarded as an act of respect and understanding on your part.

Even if you find yourself a new employer, it is better for him to explain that you need to finish the business on the old job. This will characterize you as a responsible and decent employee.

Straight Talk

The most difficult thing is talking to the head about the dismissal. As mentioned above, it's better not to delay this business and inform in advance. It is absolutely clear that they do not simply quit their jobs. As a rule, people are being pushed by various factors: low wages, problems in the collective, poor working conditions, inadequate duties and the like. Most often in all this situation, I want to blame the boss and tell him everything that has accumulated. But such a decision is completely wrong, because in that case you will forever sever your relations with the team. Psychologists do not recommend this for several reasons:

  1. Such an act will characterize you as a person who does not know how to communicate with people and get out of a difficult situation. Nobody wants to hire an employee who is in conflict, angry and offended.
  2. You will lose a lot of professional connections, which in the distant future you can come in handy.
  3. You can not get good recommendations from a former boss or co-workers. And for many employers this is important.

It is better to have a conversation with the boss face to face. Colleagues do not immediately disclose your intention to quit. Of course, a lot of factors will influence the conversation: your position, the nature of the relationship with the boss, the working situation and the situation. However, under almost all circumstances, one can find compromises and come to the right conclusion.

First of all, you should tell the reasons for why you want to quit as accurately and sincerely as possible. Build proposals need the right key: first, report on the positive aspects of your work in the company, only after that you can say about the negative. Emphasize your own ambitions and needs. Do not forget to mention how the work of the company and the boss (even if it is not so) gave work to many people.

Tell us about the fact that you have received a new profitable proposal, and at this point you have already reached your limit. Do not criticize the work: a small salary, a bad job, bad condition of the court and the like. A clever boss knows everything himself, but a fool can not prove anything. Do not criticize the leadership style. Perhaps, if the negotiations are held correctly, you will receive an alternative proposal where you will be given a new position, raise wages or allocate your office. But the dialogue should be built so that the manager does not take your conversation with him as an attempt to manipulate him.

Legal Aspects

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation is aimed at protecting the rights of an employee. It is said that you have the right to resign at your own request at any time. This right is described in Article 21, according to which, each person has the right to enter into a contract, as well as to terminate it. The reasons for such a solution can be different: lack of career growth, conflict with the team, non-observance of rights, obtaining a more favorable offer of work, and so on.

Article 80 of the Labor Code states that a lay-off person must notify the employer in writing of his departure, and file him no later than two weeks before leaving. Typically, this time is used to complete work on current affairs or to find a new employee. At the end of this period, the employee may change his mind and withdraw his application. It is not necessary to work out two weeks - if you managed to agree on this with the head office if your post is for you not the main one, but the part-time job.

If you are employed for seasonal work or a fixed-term employment contract, then according to article 292, the employee must report on the termination no later than three days. On the day of dismissal, you must be given: copies of all that is related to the work (certificates of income and transfers to the pension fund, orders, etc.), a work book. Do it in the decks. Also, you must conduct a final settlement, which will include compensation for unused vacation during the working season. If, during the dismissal, the employer does not comply with the labor law, then you can report it to the labor inspectorate and demand there to restore the violated rights.

Unpleasant moments

Unfortunately, the dismissal process does not always go smoothly. Sometimes the former leaders begin to behave inadequately and can resort to kvandazhirovaniu and exploitation. You can hang all the errors and force two weeks to perform a six-month workload.

On the one hand, you can understand the boss, because no one wants to lose a good employee and look for a replacement. But on the other hand, decency has not been canceled! Therefore, it is best to endure these couple of weeks with dignity and not give an extra reason for you to find fault, while doing your work qualitatively. If the situation is very difficult, then you can make a hospital sheet, which will cover the ill-fated two-week work-off.

Possible problems with the adoption of a statement of care. Some managers forget to sign it. Therefore, this document must be issued in two copies: one is submitted to the personnel department, and the other must ask to sign an employee who accepts the application. If it does not, then you can send the documents by Russian mail with a registered letter with a notification.

Leave beautifully

When the application for dismissal is filed and you have to spend the last two weeks in the company, try to make it as easy as possible for the company this period. Do your work conscientiously and complete your projects. Leave for the new employee all key information on the work (contacts, documents and more).

Do not be late for work and do not be lazy to comply with all your obligations. Observe the traditions of the team. In advance, think about how you say good-bye to your colleagues. Perhaps, it is necessary to send them farewell letters by e-mail or to arrange a small party after work. Do not forget to exchange contacts with key employees. After all, these ties may be useful to you in the future.
