Important Advice On Resigning / Quitting Your Job

advice on resigning from a job or quitting Resigning or quitting a job is an important decision for anyone. Many employees assume certain things about their rights at the time of resignation that may or may not be correct. Therefore, it’s generally a good idea to consult an experienced employment attorney about your legal options before you quit your job, especially if you are not sure whether quitting is really in your best interest at that specific point in time.

Sometimes, an employee might assume that he will have harassment or a constructive discharge claim that he could bring right after resigning, but later he learns that he has no such viable claims that can be brought. This might or might not make him regret quitting his job. Another employee who is about to resign might assume that he would qualify for unemployment benefits because he believes that he has “good cause” for resigning. However, he he later learns that his resignation does not meet that standard, wishing that he knew that before quitting.

Having a consultation with a knowledgeable employment attorney before you quit your job can help you make sure that you are doing what’s best for you under the circumstances and what your legal rights are, including how strong your potential case against your employer is. This type of consultation is a much better idea than risking regretting your resignation later and concluding that you made a mistake for one reason or the other.
