How to Write Resignation Acceptance Letter with Format & Samples

Working for a company is similar to that of a roller coaster ride. This is so because the ride may give a different experience to different people and add to that there exist various ups and downs. Moreover, according to the law of nature, which states that there is an end to every ride, so does our work in a company.

There may be various reasons for one to quit/ resign a job, the causes may include the following:

  • Health issues
  • Financial problems
  • Availability of a better paying job
  • Family-related issues

So, we might know the steps involved in the effective communication process, i.e., for every message, there should be feedback as this would ensure the effectiveness of the communication. As a result, to every resignation letter submitted there should be some acknowledgment from the management side, this is called the resignation acceptance letter. Moreover, this will also help in ensuring a smooth transition from one job to another one.

Different companies have adopted various methods of addressing this issue, and some companies might also have a separate cell to address the problems related to resignation. In contrast, in other companies, this issue might be addressed by the higher-level authority/head. The work of this officer/ the cell would include investigating the reason for the resignation of their employee. Given that an employee is one of the best performers of the organization and resigns due to less pay, in this case, the management might request the concerned to stay back by quoting a revised high pay. But, if an employee resigns due to other reasons which might be beyond the management’s consideration, then it solely depends on the employer to accept the resignation.

The resignation acceptance letter is a way of formal acknowledgment of the employees’ experience and contributions to the organization and henceforth relieving him/her from the organisation’s services (once after serving the notice period).
