Handing it in
- Tell your manager face to face or on a call before the letter arrives in their inbox.
- Keep a dated copy of the letter for your own records.
- Confirm your last working day in writing so payroll and handover plans anchor to the same date.
Check your actual contract for the notice period before naming a last day; documents beat folklore. The conversation with your manager comes before the letter, always.
