The Fixed Term Contract Resignation Notice is a crucial document in Australian employment relations, designed for employees who wish to terminate their fixed-term employment contract before its natural conclusion. This document is required when an employee on a fixed-term contract decides to end their employment early and must provide notice as per their contract terms and the Fair Work Act 2009. It should be used when the employee has made a definitive decision to resign and needs to formally communicate this to their employer. The notice includes essential information such as the employee's details, notice period, last working day, and arrangements for handover of responsibilities. This document ensures compliance with Australian employment law while maintaining professional standards and protecting both parties' interests during the resignation process.
