Electronic Signature Legality for Acknowledgement of Resignation in United Kingdom

How to eSign a document: electronic signature legality for Acknowledgement of Resignation in United Kingdom

we've had situations where we've had somebody resign and a couple of days after they've resigned their comeback and said they'd like to withdraw the resignation they've thought about it again perhaps the other job didn't pan out or they've decided actually they would prefer to stay with axis how should we handle that as a company and all the legal implications - well I think first of all I've always said an app told people that resignation is not a negotiation when you decide to resign you need to be sure that that's what that's what you want if you are in a situation where maybe you want a higher salary or you're not happy with your position have that conversation before you resign rather than after however most companies including access when somebody resigns we won't look at it and say is there somebody that we really want to fight to keep or do we see that this is really a new growth opportunity for this person and it wouldn't make sense for them to stay so those kind of conversations will happen as well but when somebody resigns and you accept the resignation usually at that point the decision is made that person is not going to be able to stay and the companies start to move on they start to to look for somebody else there are cost implications they are issues around the rest of the staff and also sometimes it is somebody who the company is reasonably satisfied but they have resigned if you're in that situation your legal position is now what we're talking about because now nobody was going to fire you you were doing enough to keep your job but you resigned and now you've changed your mind this is when it becomes challenging because from the company's perspective a resignation is as much a contract as any other when it's in writing so once you've got it in writing and you've accepted it with a verbally or in writing there is no legal position that I am aware of that will it for the company to keep somebody who has put their resignation in writing was very clear dates that they're leaving and that is why I tell people don't resign unless you're absolutely sure don't resign unless you've got a contract and in the current economic environment don't resign unless you've got another job absolutely thank you
