Resignation	letter	for	health	reasons	pdf
  Sometimes,	people	have	to	quit	their	jobs	not	because	of	a	change	in	the	financial	condition	or	career	change	but	because	of	their	deteriorating	health.	In	this	case,	your	departure	must	be	accompanied	by	a	resignation	letter	for	health	reasons.	In	our	article,	we	will	tell	you	about	the	process	of	writing	such	a	letter,	what	items	to	include,	and	what
  you’d	rather	keep	silent	about.	In	addition	to	the	tips,	we	are	pleased	to	present	you	with	two	samples	of	this	type	of	letter.	If	your	health	deteriorates	or	you	become	seriously	ill,	you	may	decide	to	leave	your	job.	People	do	this	for	several	reasons:	It	is	too	hard	to	fulfill	your	professional	duties	You	get	a	long-term	treatment	that	needs	your	full-time
  commitment	In	the	case	of	an	incurable	disease,	it	may	be	wise	to	devote	more	time	to	yourself,	your	dreams,	or	your	loved	ones.	To	request	health	benefits.	Some	diseases	can	be	cured	in	the	initial	stages	if	you	give	them	sufficient	attention	and	time.	But	it	is	not	known	how	they	will	affect	your	further	abilities.	Therefore,	people	decide	to	suspend
  their	employment.	To	begin	your	resignation	process,	you	must	serve	your	supervisor	with	a	resignation	letter	for	health	reasons.	You	should	state	the	reasons	for	your	departure	from	work	in	the	resignation	letter	template,	specifying	the	last	working	day.	It	is	better	to	submit	the	letter	in	person	after	having	a	conversation	with	the	management	to
  support	your	words	with	a	document.	This	letter	is	considered	your	official	resignation	document	from	your	job	position.	Details	to	Include	in	the	Letter	Since	the	letter	is	an	official	document,	you	need	to	consider	its	preparation	carefully.	Use	polite	and	respectful	language	and	be	sure	to	include	all	important	parts	of	the	letter:	Your	name	and
  address	Date	of	writing	the	letter	Name,	title,	and	address	of	the	addressee	Respectful	appeal	Purpose	of	the	letter	Date	of	your	last	working	day	Gratitude	to	colleagues	and	management	Expression	of	willingness	to	assist	in	the	transition	period	Conclusion	of	the	letter	Your	name	and	signature	If	you	are	sending	a	copy	of	your	letter	by	email,	be
  sure	to	insert	the	appropriate	subject	line.	For	example,	it	is	best	to	write	“Resignation_____________	Your	Name”	to	engage	your	manager’s	attention	to	the	letter.	How	to	Write	the	Letter	1.	Describe	the	Reason	Write	that	you	are	leaving	your	workplace	for	reasons	related	to	your	health.	If	you	can	and	want,	then	open	your	diagnosis.	But	some	people
  prefer	to	make	a	note	to	keep	this	information	confidential	between	you	and	your	employer.	2.	Reveal	the	Date	of	Resignation	The	more	advance	you	warn	your	boss	about	your	resignation,	the	better.	The	company	will	have	to	find	a	qualified	employee	in	your	place	and	bring	them	up	to	date.	The	minimum	recommended	time	to	notify	your	employer
  about	the	resignation	is	two	weeks.	Of	course,	there	are	unforeseen	situations,	especially	if	the	reasons	are	related	to	health.	But	if	your	situation	allows,	then	it	is	better	to	warn	your	manager	in	advance	so	that	they	can	start	looking	for	a	replacement.	You	will	also	benefit	from	your	willingness	to	participate	in	interviewing	and	onboarding	a	new
  employee.	Again,	be	sure	to	indicate	this	in	the	letter.	3.	Resign	By	sending	or	providing	a	resignation	letter	for	health	reasons	in	person,	you	will	initiate	the	process	of	leaving	your	work.	It	is	usually	also	necessary	to	contact	your	company’s	Human	Resources	department.	An	authorized	employee	will	tell	you	about	all	further	actions	on	your	part	and
  the	part	of	the	organization.	Letter	Format	This	letter	is	an	important	document	that	informs	the	management	of	your	resignation	and	is	attached	to	your	file.	Therefore,	when	writing	it,	adhere	to	the	generally	accepted	format.	1.	Start	With	the	Header	In	the	upper	corner	of	the	letter,	start	filling	in	the	following	information:	Your	name	Your	mailing
  address	Contact	number	Date	of	writing	the	letter	Name	of	the	recipient	of	the	letter	Their	position	Address	of	the	recipient	Skipping	the	space	after	the	header,	you	should	insert	a	respectful	appeal	to	your	addressee	(“Dear	Mr/Mrs”).	2.	Write	the	Body	of	the	Letter	The	body	of	the	letter	should	not	be	very	long.	It	is	better	if	the	whole	letter	is	no
  more	than	one	page.	Therefore,	the	body	of	the	letter	usually	contains	3-4	paragraphs,	no	more.	Here	you	should	specify:	The	purpose	of	your	appeal	The	date	of	the	last	working	day	in	the	company	The	reason	for	your	departure	from	the	position	Thanks	to	your	management	for	the	position	and	colleagues	for	their	cooperation	Plan	for	remaining	job
  Willingness	to	help	in	the	transition	period	The	top	tip	is	to	always	be	polite.	Your	life	circumstances	may	change.	You	may	want	to	return	to	your	position,	but	this	will	not	be	so	easy	with	an	ugly	departure.	Do	not	cut	all	ties.	Stay	professional.	Write	concisely	and	respectfully.	3.	End	the	Letter	At	the	end	of	the	letter,	thank	the	management	again
  and	affix	your	signature	and	name.	Dos	and	Don’ts	Below	you	will	find	tips	on	what	experienced	HR	employees	recommend	and	discourage	people	who	wish	to	resign	for	health-related	issues.	Dos:	Give	notice	of	resignation	as	early	as	possible.	Management	will	thank	you	for	giving	them	the	time	to	find	and	train	a	new	employee.	Be	polite	during	the
  termination	process.	Politeness	will	assist	you	to	end	your	working	hours	with	this	company	on	a	positive	note.	There	is	no	need	to	create	scandals.	Offer	your	help	with	the	transition	if	you	get	the	chance.	This	will	help	both	the	company	and	yourself.	Psychologically,	preparing	a	new	employee	will	help	you	part	with	your	job.	Thank	the	company	and
  management	for	their	trust	and	the	work	provided.	Do	not:	Do	not	burn	bridges.	You	may	want	to	return	to	your	position	after	a	while.	It	will	be	easier	to	do	this	if	you	leave	on	good	terms.	Do	not	express	your	grievances	or	dissatisfaction	with	the	company	in	the	letter.	This	is	a	completely	unfortunate	place	for	this.	The	letter	may	be	attached	to	your
  file,	but	there	is	absolutely	no	need	for	such	information.	Do	not	spread	rumors	before	talking	to	your	boss.	You	must	first	inform	your	management	and	only	then	speak	to	your	colleagues	or	clients	about	your	resignation.

  name),	It	is	with	deep	regret	that	I	inform	you	of	my	intention	to	stop	working	as	_________________	(your	position)	at	_________________	(name	of	the	company)	starting	from	_________________	(insert	the	date).	My	doctors	diagnosed	me	with	_________________	(name	of	the	disease).	My	doctor	advised	me	to	devote	all	my	time	to	treatment	if	I	want	a	chance
  at	recovery.	Furthermore,	it	has	become	difficult	for	me	to	carry	out	some	of	my	duties	due	to	rapid	fatigue.	I	want	to	thank	you	personally	and	all	my	colleagues	for	the	time	spent	in	the	company.	Working	here	has	brought	me	joy	and	positive	emotions.	The	experience	gained	while	working	is	invaluable,	and	I	am	grateful	for	every	minute	of	my	work.
  I	have	prepared	a	plan	for	all	my	unfinished	projects	to	help	the	new	employee	adapt	faster.	If	you	need	my	help	in	this	matter,	I’d	be	happy	to	assist.

  inform	you	of	my	resignation.	Starting	from	_________________	(insert	date),	I	will	stop	working	for	the	company	as	_________________.	The	reason	for	my	decision	is	severe	deterioration	in	my	health.	I	was	diagnosed	with	_________________	(indicate	the	disease).	It	is	difficult	for	me	to	cope	with	my	tasks	with	such	a	diagnosis,	and	I	need	more	time	to
  recover.	I	express	my	deep	gratitude	to	the	company	for	the	opportunity	to	work	in	an	excellent	team.	I	can	call	my	work	here	one	of	the	happiest	periods	of	my	life.	However,	I	am	deeply	saddened	by	the	fact	that	I	have	to	suspend	my	professional	activities.	During	my	next	three	weeks	(my	last)	at	the	company,	I’ll	be	honored	to	provide	my
  assistance	in	training	and	handing	over	to	a	new	employee.	According	to	company	policy,	I	am	entitled	to	a	partial	refund	of	my	medication	costs.	Therefore,	I	would	like	to	exercise	this	right,	if	possible.	Please	let	me	know	if	there	is	anything	I	can	do	while	in	my	position.	Finally,	I	would	like	to	thank	you	personally	once	again	for	the	work	provided.
  Sincerely,	_________________	(Your	name)	To	Sum	Up	Leaving	work	due	to	an	illness	is	perhaps	one	of	the	saddest	and	most	difficult	reasons.	However,	do	not	give	in	to	despondency.	Instead,	try	to	leave	on	a	positive	note	and	leave	only	a	good	impression	of	yourself	as	a	professional.	Warn	your	superiors	and	devote	your	time	to	health	recovery.	Read
  your	contract	carefully	before	writing	a	letter.	Your	company	may	have	adopted	policies	to	support	critically	ill	employees.	Check	if	you	are	eligible	for	such	assistance	and	financial	support.	We	advise	you	to	leave	your	workplace	in	good	relations	with	colleagues	and	management.	This	will	benefit	your	state	of	mind	and	leave	the	opportunity	to	return
  to	your	place	after	recovering.	Published:	Jun	15,	2021
