Use this hub to follow the complete employee-exit process, from resignation notice and turnover to clearance, final pay and employment records. It distinguishes earned amounts from lawful deductions and explains when an employee may leave without completing the usual notice period.
Start with the one-month written-notice rule, then check a proposed final day and use the resignation and early-release letter builder.
Check the immediate-resignation path and read the grounds and evidence guide. A personal urgency does not automatically establish an Article 300 just cause; a written employer waiver may be needed.
Check the final-pay rules and follow-up builder and the separate Certificate of Employment request process.
Start with forced resignation and constructive dismissal and the evidence to preserve before choosing a voluntary-resignation template. A signed letter alone does not settle voluntariness.
Read how to assess and respond to the demand. The claim, any wage deduction and the correct forum each need their own legal basis.
Check the applicable rule. Identify your employment arrangement, contract or CBA, notice requirement and any claimed just cause or agreed waiver. These guides primarily address Philippine private-sector employment; special rules may apply.
Document the date and decision. Use the notice-date planning calculator, choose the appropriate standard, waived-notice or just-cause letter sample, and keep proof of delivery. A calculator result is not a legal ruling.
Record turnover and clearance. Follow the clearance guide and use the handover and company-property return builder to organize the work and property records. Keep actual return receipts and obtain written confirmation of unresolved accountabilities.
Check pay and employment records. Use the final-pay calculator guide to review the computation, then compare an employer’s itemized statement with the final-pay statement checker. Use the final-pay follow-up builder for a written clarification request. Request your COE separately and keep written follow-ups. A dispute about damages does not by itself authorize a deduction.
