Free Resignation Letter Generator

A resignation letter is a formal written document informing your employer that you intend to leave your position. It typically states your last working day, your notice period, and may include a brief reason for leaving. It creates an official record of your resignation and ensures a professional exit from the company.

A resignation draft is a preliminary version of your resignation letter that you prepare and review before submitting it to your employer. Drafting first lets you check the tone, notice period, last working day, and wording, and make changes before anything is finalized. Once you're happy with it, that draft becomes the final letter you actually submit.

To create a resignation letter draft, fill in your details in the form above — name, designation, company, notice period, and last working day — choose a tone (Formal, Warm, or Brief), and click "Generate Resignation PDF" to preview it. You can go back, edit any field, and regenerate as many times as you like until the wording is right, then download it as a PDF or Word document. There's no limit and no cost to redrafting.

Under UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), the standard notice period is 30 days for employees with unlimited contracts. Your employment contract may specify a different period — always check your contract first. Both employer and employee can mutually agree to waive or shorten the notice period. If you resign without serving the notice period, you may be liable for payment in lieu of notice.

While not always legally mandated, submitting a written resignation letter is strongly recommended in the UAE. It creates a clear, dated record of your resignation and last working day, protects your rights under UAE Labour Law, supports smooth processing of your end-of-service gratuity (EOSB), and demonstrates professionalism — which is important when requesting an experience letter or reference from your employer.

Yes — under the UAE Labour Law, employees who complete at least one year of service are entitled to end-of-service gratuity upon resignation. The amount is calculated based on your basic salary and years of service. Use the Doxify UAE Gratuity Calculator to estimate your EOSB before you resign. Note: if you resign before completing one year, you are not entitled to gratuity.

You are not legally required to state your reason for leaving in a resignation letter. If you choose to include it, keep it brief and professional. Common reasons include personal or family reasons, a new career opportunity, or relocation. Avoid negative language about colleagues, management, or the company — a positive tone protects your professional reputation and increases the likelihood of a good reference.
