Resignation and Job Abandonment Clause Samples
The 'Resignation and Job Abandonment' clause defines the procedures and consequences when an employee voluntarily leaves their position or fails to report to work without notice. Typically, this clause outlines the required notice period for resignation, the process for submitting a resignation, and the employer's response to uncommunicated absences, such as considering multiple consecutive no-shows as job abandonment. Its core function is to provide clear guidelines for ending employment relationships, ensuring both parties understand their obligations and reducing disputes over separation circumstances.
