Resignation of an official or contract staff member

How should a permanent civil servant submit his resignation?

You must submit your resignation in writing.

It is recommended that you submit your resignation by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt or by hand-delivered mail against discharge to your line manager or your HR manager.

Your mail must express your unequivocal desire to permanently cease your duties.

The administration can ensure, for example during an interview, that you know and understand the statutory and financial implications of your decision.

For you to effectively leave office, your resignation must be accepted by your employer administration.

There is no text setting the deadline in which you must submit your resignation before the date on which you wish to leave office. But you must take into account the maximum response time available to your employer administration.

Within what period must the employer's administration respond to a request for resignation?

The decision of your employer administration must be taken within one month upon receipt of your request to resign.

Your employer community sets the the date from which you may cease your duties.

If you cease your duties before the scheduled date through your employer community, you may be subject to disciplinary action.

If your employer community refuses your resignation, you can enter the HEADING: titleContent. The CAP issues a reasoned opinion that it sends to your employer community.

The lack of response of your employer community within one month of receiving your request to resign is not an implied decision to accept or reject your resignation.

After this period of one month, your request for resignation is no longer valid. If you still wish to leave office, you must submit a new request for resignation.

What are the consequences of the resignation of a territorial civil servant?

Once accepted, your resignation is irrevocable.

Removal of executives

You are delisted from executives of the public service on the date of your separation.

Annual leave allowance

If you couldn't take all your annual leave prior to your termination of employment due to operational requirements or medical leave or leave related to parental or family responsibilities, such leave without pay shall be compensated.

This allowance only compensates for unused leave for the first 4 weeks of annual leave per calendar year unless the leave could not be used due to leave related to parental or family responsibilities.

Compensation for one day of untaken annual leave is calculated as follows: (Gross monthly pay x 12) / 250.

If your request for resignation comes as a result of the restructuring or abolition of your position, you can benefit from a voluntary severance pay if a deliberation so provides.

Unemployment benefits
