Resignation Refused

My friend has resigned but his boss has not accepted his resignation until now and the 3-month notification period will end soon.

He joined this firm on a local transfer, can he join a new company and is an email conversation considered as a proof of submission of a person’s resignation submission … how can he get a release?

Name withheld Answer: The boss can’t refuse to accept or acknowledge the resignation, especially if your friend joined the company on a local transfer and has served the one-year mandatory period.

Please remember that e-mails are enough proof of submission of resignation and what you should do is get a transfer letter from the company you wish to join and present it to your current company for signatures.

If the company still refuses to acknowledge the resignation or sign the transfer letter, you should approach the Public Manpower Authority or the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, through the Labor Office in your area. You should not face any problems in getting the transfer.
