    Resignation letter

    Resigning from a CDI is free and reason-free, but it must be clear and datable. This letter sets the notification date, hence the start of the notice period.

    When to send it

    Send it when you leave your post on your own initiative. The date of receipt by the employer starts the notice period and sets the end of the contract.

    What you need to know

    • Do not state a reason: it is not required and can be used against you.
    • Check the notice length in your collective agreement, not just the contract.
    • Claim the work certificate, the final pay and the France Travail statement.
    • Send it by registered letter with return receipt: the AR sets the notice start date.

    How to send it

    Fill in your details, your position and your notice period, then we print and post the letter by registered mail with return receipt to your employer.
