FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Address your concerns before giving notice
What is the difference between a resignation request and a resignation notice?
In Japan, a resignation request is generally treated as a document asking to resign, while a resignation notice formally communicates the intention to resign. However, terminology and procedures vary by company, so check your work rules and any required company form first.
What should I do if I cannot find the work rules?
Check your company portal and distributed materials. If you still cannot find them, ask HR, General Affairs, or your supervisor: “I would like to check the rules and forms required for the resignation process.”
As a temporary agency worker, can I tell the client company first?
Your staffing agency is your employer. As a general rule, speak with your staffing agency representative first, then coordinate when and how to notify the client company.
What if my employer refuses to accept my resignation notice?
Keep a record of when and where you submitted it and of any related communication, and check whether HR, General Affairs, or another official contact is available. The appropriate response depends on your circumstances. If a dispute is likely, consider contacting a General Labor Consultation Corner at your local Labor Bureau or consulting a specialist.
