A Resignation Retraction Letter is a formal document used when an employee wishes to withdraw a previously submitted resignation and continue their employment relationship. This document type is particularly important in the Maltese legal context, where employment relationships are governed by the Employment and Industrial Relations Act (EIRA) and related regulations. The letter should be submitted as soon as possible after the original resignation, ideally before the notice period expires. It should clearly reference the original resignation, provide reasons for the retraction request, and demonstrate commitment to the organization. While Maltese law recognizes an employee's right to submit such a request, the employer maintains discretion in accepting or rejecting the retraction, making it crucial for the letter to be professionally drafted and persuasive. The document should align with Maltese employment law requirements and typically includes details about the original resignation, the reasons for retraction, and any relevant circumstances that have changed since the initial resignation.
