Pipsland78: I'm leaving my lecturing job in March because I'm relocating to the US and I intend to give them one month notice. Hope this is right?

damoobaba: In my former place of work(school),they have ways of punishing staff by deducting frm their salary for any little misdemeanour(offence).After some of the teachers collected their salaries in october,abt five college teachers including me jst took off without notifying d management.They begged some of us to come back bt it was too late.Also many students left d school because d teachers dat left were d very ones dat run d school. Lesson: respect ur workers if u want them to respect ur organization.What goes around comes around.

byne: is like this trend is for me.. cos am planing of quitting my job soon... as 4 me i am planing of resigning within 24hours....

psucc: You must give at least 3months notice before the effective date or forgo a months salary in lieu of notice. It is the law. Else, if your employer is a gullible type, he may sue you and make claims.

daa1: Depend on what is written your employment letter. Some organization you need to give a month notice, a proper organization 3months notice and in case there was none in your letter of employment which is common with Nigeria employers resign after you have collect you pay cheque(most doesn't pay if you notify them b4 your salary is paid) so be wise.

stelaar: Depending on the office...I'll say apply for leave of absence and if you find your new job stormy, quietly retreat back lol...sadly a friend left a good govt job for another but for the fact of secrecy on the salary scale the first alert was shocking on the new job which turned out to be lower than the previous...the sad thing...the person resigned...now the person is crying a river and wishing to return.

Okiki_Oluwa: Writing a resignation letter is to show responsibility & respect for the organisation. It's a formal way of saying goodbye.
Last Bullet:
Organisations may pick offence if you fail to notify them before quiting. Verbal notification is not always honoured.

Businesstools: Lecturing or teaching? If it's the former, I think you should make an arrangement with the school to take up your job whenever you return rather than resigning.

Yomieluv: in a formal,and organized environment,you need to write a resignation letter with a month notification,else you will be charged with breach of contract,and your sorry azz would be sued.
It depends on your mode of employment,if you were employed verbally,with no formal document,you can quit verbally,if your were employed with all those document signing,do the honourable thing by notifying the organization formally.

This is because you can reference them in your CV.

Charlesamino:
If its a govt or a serious minded private institutn, 2mi its fine bt if na 1 of these mushrum private institutns, a week or days or jst disappear sef else u r on a lng tin

Yomieluv: you cant try that in some organization,most especially if the organization incurred cost of retraining you. Some even give stipulated time,you can even think of leaving them.

Pipsland78:
It's federal govt...
