Query: Acceptance of Resignation
Member
Hi.
Is there such a term whereby employers are given 48 hours to accept resignation, in which after the 48 hours is overdue, the terms stated within the notice of resignation is deemed accepted?
Would this supersede the terms stated within the letter of offer?
On another matter, I would like to ask if there is any way to release the employee earlier without having to pay (reason being that the employee is seriously under performing and he/she is seriously eating up company resources without contributions, coming in when he/she desires, or at what time he/she desires etc.)?
Thank you in advance for your time.

1. Once the resignation letter is received, it is deemed to have been accepted. The employee can't even withdraw it unless agreed by the employer.
2. I can't think of a better way. If it is misconduct, then you hold a domestic inquiry and mete out the appropriate action as mentioned in Section 14 of the Employment Act.
