I sent a letter of resignation via email to my old employer. They replied saying they would not accept this. This left me confused because I was unsure if it was the format(email vs. hardcopy) or the date they were referring to. So I created another one and changed the last date of employment to give even more notice and emailed, printed and signed it. This letter was delivered to the "boss". When I received my breakdown of the last pay, it states the termination date was the one from the first letter. If they denied it without reason and it prompted me to create another, would that first letter of resignation be null? Would they have to recognize the second letter as the official form of resignation? This is occurring in Fl. Please advise.

You only get paid to the last day you worked... no matter when you actually resigned. And you are entitled to the time actualy worked.

I'm assuming you were an At-Will employee... and didn't have a contract for a specified period. THey really couldn't refuse to accept a resignation. But I can understand them wanting it in writing. Meaning not an email...but hardcopy with a signature.

Yes there was no contract.

I'd say they would go off the first date... and just wanted you to give them a hardcopy with a signature for their files...an email has no actual physical signature and could originate from anyone.

OK thank you!
