Document background
The Quitting Job For Mental Health Letter is a crucial document used when an employee in the Philippines needs to resign from their position primarily due to mental health concerns. It becomes necessary when an individual's mental well-being requires them to step back from their professional responsibilities, supported by the protections offered under the Philippine Mental Health Act of 2018 and related labor laws. The document typically includes formal resignation notice, effective date, brief explanation of health-related reasons (at the employee's discretion), transition plans, and optional medical documentation. It serves as an official record of the resignation while maintaining professional standards and protecting the employee's rights under Philippine jurisdiction. This letter is particularly relevant in the context of increasing recognition of mental health issues in the workplace and the legal framework supporting employee well-being in the Philippines.
