The Intention To Leave Form is a preliminary document used in German employment relationships when an employee is planning to end their employment. While not legally required, this document serves as a professional courtesy and planning tool, allowing employers to prepare for the upcoming formal resignation. The form typically includes the employee's personal information, current position, intended last working day, and may include reasons for leaving and handover planning details. This document is particularly useful in German business culture, where structured processes and advance planning are valued. While less formal than the final resignation letter (Kündigungsschreiben), the Intention To Leave Form helps ensure compliance with German notice periods and enables smooth transition planning.
