Calculation
How to write a resignation letter
The letter is addressed to the head of the organisation — usually the general director. In the top right corner you state who it is addressed to (position, organisation and full name in the dative case) and who it is from (your position and full name in the genitive case). Below, centred, comes the word «Заявление» (application), then the request itself, the date and your signature.
At your own request: «Прошу уволить меня по собственному желанию 16 октября 2026 г.» (I ask to be dismissed at my own request on 16 October 2026). State your actual last working day.
Without working out notice: if you have a valid reason — retirement, starting full-time studies, relocation, or the employer breaking the law. The reason must be stated in the letter and backed by a document.
By mutual agreement: dismissal on any agreed date, often with compensation. Here the letter is only a proposal; the main document is an agreement signed by both parties.
How long the notice period is
As a general rule — two weeks (Art. 80 of the Labour Code of the Russian Federation, TK RF). The period starts the day after the employer receives your letter. If you submit it on 1 October, your last working day is 15 October. During a probation period 3 days' notice is enough; the head of an organisation must give a month's notice; seasonal workers and those on contracts of up to two months — 3 calendar days.
You can take leave or sick leave during the notice period — it still runs. The employer may agree to let you go earlier, but is not obliged to.
How to hand in the letter
Submit the letter in two copies: give one to HR or the reception office, and ask them to mark the second one as received, with the date. If they refuse to accept it, send it by registered letter with declared value and a list of contents — the submission date will be the date the letter is received. You can also submit it electronically if the company uses electronic HR document management.
This is how the finished document looks with sample data. All names and details are fictitious.

Frequently asked questions
Can I withdraw my resignation letter?
Yes, up to your last working day. The exception is when someone has already been invited in writing to take your place and cannot be refused employment (for example, a transfer from another organisation).
From what date do the two weeks of notice count?
From the day after the employer receives the letter. Weekends and public holidays count towards the period.
Do I need to give a reason for resigning?
Not when you resign at your own request. A reason is only given if you want to leave without working out notice for a valid reason.
