Termination During the Probationary Period: Is It Mandatory to Submit a Resignation Letter?

Pursuant to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 27 of the 2019 Labor Code:

During the probationary period, each party has the right to terminate the probationary contract or the labor contract that has been concluded without prior notice and without compensation.

Thus, according to this provision, the termination of the probationary contract by the employee during the probationary period is entirely their right, without the need to give any advance notice as in cases where a labor contract has been signed.

At the same time, this provision and related provisions on the issue of probation do not contain any requirement that the employee, when wanting to quit during the probationary period, must write a resignation letter.

The method of notifying the employer is up to them; therefore, the company requiring you to write a resignation letter to resolve the termination of probation and to pay the wages for the days worked is contrary to the above regulation.

Respectfully!
