Document background
An Intent to Leave Letter is a crucial document in Indonesian employment relations, used when an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment relationship with their employer. This document must be drafted in accordance with Indonesian labor laws, particularly Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and the Job Creation Law of 2020, which require proper notice periods and formal communication of resignation. The letter should be submitted to both the immediate supervisor and HR department, containing essential information such as the employee's details, current position, last working day, and handover commitments. It serves as official documentation of the resignation process and helps ensure a smooth transition while maintaining professional relationships. The document is particularly important in Indonesia's formal business culture, where proper documentation and adherence to hierarchical protocols are highly valued.
