What to do

  1. State your current position, company name, submission date, proposed last working day, any notice arrangement already confirmed with HR, and key handover items.
  2. Paste the prompt below into your chosen AI assistant.
  3. Check every date and commitment against your contract, HR confirmation, and actual role before sending.

Try this prompt

Give the dates and notice arrangement you actually know; use unknown where HR confirmation is still needed.

Help me draft a respectful resignation letter and a separate handover checklist. Use only my information below. This is drafting help, not a determination of my legal obligations.

Role: [role]
Company and addressee: [details]
Submission date: [date]
Proposed final working day: [date]
Notice arrangement already confirmed with HR, if any: [details or unknown]
Reason, optional: [brief reason or omit]
Handover tasks: [tasks]
Language and tone: [English/Filipino; professional and polite]

First flag missing or conflicting dates and notice information. Do not assume every employment situation has the same notice requirements. Do not invent a legal rule, declare my letter legally compliant, or promise clearance or payment.

Draft a concise letter using the proposed last day as my proposal unless it is already confirmed. Include a reasonable handover offer within my actual role and employment period, not an unlimited commitment. Do not add waivers, admissions, accusations, or facts I did not provide.

Then create a handover checklist and questions for HR about notice confirmation, property return, clearance, final-pay processing, and a Certificate of Employment request. Keep final pay and COE as separate topics. Do not send anything. Finish with the details I should verify before use.

Illustrative example. Your answer may differ.

Input: Submission 1 October; proposed final day 31 October; notice arrangement with HR unknown. Output: Labels 31 October as proposed, asks the employee to confirm notice with HR, and separates the handover checklist from final-pay and COE questions.

Before you use it: This drafting guide does not determine your legal obligations or guarantee clearance or payment. The factual note below needs approval from a qualified Philippine labor-law reviewer before it is treated as professional legal guidance.

Philippine notes

  • DOLE says final pay should be released within 30 days after separation unless a more favorable company policy applies. A Certificate of Employment should be provided within three days after the employee asks for it. These are separate timelines; individual clearance or disputes may need separate consideration.
  • Never use a resignation letter to air grievances, complaints, or internal drama. Keep it strictly professional.
