If I resign whilst under suspension can an Employer NOT accept my resignation?
Answers:
They can accept your resignation you are still employed !! If they don't you can leave regardless they cant hold you there against your will !! :)
get in touch with acas or if you belong to a union try them. don't think that they would be allowed to refuse your notice though.
Yes, they could choose to terminate you.
yea sure ... its called getting fired :)
which would be pretty lame for them to do to you
I'm not sure but I think they can terminate your employment if they wish rather than let you resign but I doubt whether many employers would chose that option unless the reason for the suspension was very serious.
If you are employed in an employement-at-will state (which most states are), then your employer cannot refuse your resignation. You have the right to terminiate the employement relationship (as does your employer) at any time without explanation.
However, if you signed an employment contract for a pre-determined time period, you can still resign, but will be liable to your employer for a breach of contract and will have to pay your employer damages (usually the cost difference between what they would have paid you and what they have to pay someone else).
Yes you can resign and they have to accept it too. Unless you have a special contract with your work place.
I dont think there is any circumstance they can refuse resignation
I have been involved in a few cases similar to this as I am an Union Representitve. If you have been suspended due to an act considered as Gross Misconduct, which could lead to your summary dismissal, then they have the right not to accept your resignation.
If when they gave you your suspension they have invited you back to another meeting to proceed with the case, they would have informed you that if you fail to turn up, it WILL lead to your dismissal.
Well if you handed a resignation letter in, then you will then not attend meeting, which would then mean you will be dismissed.
I know this is a lot to take in, But prepare for the worst outcome when you go to meeting and consider it a bonus if you still have your job!
Good luck with this
You aren't a slave, so your employers must accept your resignation.
If there are differences between you and your employers, they may be rather pleased if you do resign. It will make it more difficult for you to establish unfair dismissal. You would have to try and claim constructive dismissal - "They made life so difficult that I had little option but to resign". This can be hard to prove.
Yes but why? they will presume guilty to the reason for suspension. Legally you get paid when on suspension, check with acas.com
