Document background
The Two Weeks Notice letter is a fundamental document in Irish employment relations, used when an employee wishes to formally terminate their employment contract. While Irish law establishes minimum notice periods based on length of service through the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973, two weeks is a common standard notice period for many positions. This document serves as an official record of resignation, protecting both employer and employee interests by clearly stating the intention to resign, establishing the final working day, and outlining transition arrangements. The letter should be drafted in compliance with Irish employment law and any specific terms outlined in the employment contract regarding notice periods.
