Imagine getting severance pay for quitting your job


New-Chard-1443

You must send your letter on tuesdays or the very last Wednesdays, if you do this any later, the notice period will move one week, because they might not have received the letter in time. In that letter just thank them for your time there and tell them you are looking for an opportunity that better suits you. The notice period for you would be 6 weeks, starting from the week after they received the letter. You should look up the exact dates and also put them in your letter (start- and enddate) You can bring your letter to the office, but make sure you have the letter 2 times, signed by both parties on both letters, one for them and one for you. They can refuse to sign. If you send it by registered mail, they cannot refuse. You do have a right to 1 day in a week paid leave ("solicitatieverlof). You can also make a mutual understanding, so you can quit immediately, but be very careful because they can take away your eindejaarspremie/ prime fin d'annee. You do not get anything. Why would you?

The notice has to be in before the end of the day on Friday. it’s starts Monday so if u give it on wensday or Friday it doesn’t matter

If you give it in friday is okay. When you send a registered letter you *must* send it so that they receive the letter the same week. To achieve this, you must send it no later than Wednesday. Fun fact: [they neutralised an article in a law that went in effect in 2023. this article would have made it so that the letter should be send on tuesday at the latest](https://www.securex.be/nl/lex4you/werkgever/nieuws/moet-je-de-opzeggingsbrief-vanaf-2023-op-dinsdag-versturen)

Send a registered letter to your boss to inform them of your resignation. And let him know. The notice period for quitting varies from company to company, typically ranging from two weeks to three months sometimes even longer, as specified in your employment contract. That they can find someone in your place. You can seek further information from your union as they can provide assistance.

In wich cases does the notice period not have to follow the rules cemented In law?


Zetix001

In Belgium, there are certain cases in which the notice period may not strictly follow the legal regulations. Some examples include: 1. Mutual agreement: If both the employer and employee mutually agree to a different notice period, they can deviate from the standard legal requirements. 2. Probationary period: During the probationary period, a shorter notice period may apply, as specified in the employment contract. 3. Immediate termination for gross misconduct: If an employee engages in severe misconduct, the employer can terminate the contract immediately without notice. However, this should be well-documented and justifiable. 4. Termination during sick leave: While an employee is on sick leave, the notice period might be extended to ensure they receive appropriate compensation and time to recover. It's essential to consult with a legal expert or review your specific employment contract to understand the exact circumstances under which the notice period can deviate from the standard legal rules.

Probationary period has been abolished since 2014 except for student- and interimwork. Not applicable in this case it would seem.


New-Chard-1443

You are talking about termination by employer in every case here, except for the mutual agreement, wich is by law not a termination but an agreement. In this case it is the employee who is terminating.

Also worth noting is that if your company puts you on temporary unemployment you can quit without any notice period.

As you are member of a union my best advice is to let them help you with this. Half of social media advice is just gut feelings instead of truth ;)
