When a worker leaves his job, the employer needs to issue relevant resignation certificates, so is it necessary for the worker to sign the resignation certificates? The answer is yes, which is also a problem that we need to know clearly as workers. I have compiled the following contents to answer your questions, hoping to help you.

Do I need to sign the resignation certificate?

The certificate of resignation must be signed by myself.

What is the certificate of resignation?

The certificate of resignation is a written proof that the employer and the employee terminate the labor relationship, and it is a written material that must be issued after the employer and the employee terminate the labor relationship.

Relevant provisions of the certificate of resignation

There are no complete and clear provisions in the current laws of our country on the certificate of dissolution or termination of the labor contract issued by the employer. Only the "Regulations on Unemployment Insurance" promulgated by the State Council 1999 stipulates that urban enterprises and institutions should issue certificates of termination or dissolution of labor relations for unemployed people in time from the perspective of handling unemployment insurance registration and enjoying unemployment insurance benefits. Article 99 of the Labor Law stipulates that if an employer recruits workers whose labor contracts have not been terminated and causes economic losses to the original employer, it shall be jointly and severally liable for compensation according to law. This has also triggered social discussions and voices, arguing that workers should hold a resignation certificate when they re-employment, and the original employer should issue a resignation certificate to the workers. Drawing lessons from international experience, in order to safeguard the order of the labor market and the rights and interests of workers, this law clarifies the legal obligation of the employer to issue a certificate of dissolution or termination of the labor contract.

Resigned employees can apply to the Human Resources Department for resignation certificate. The resignation certificate issued by the human resources department only proves the date of entry, position and reasons for resignation. Generally, employees who are dismissed fill in the dismissal certificate, not the resignation certificate.

Therefore, when going through the resignation formalities in the future, you also need to sign the resignation certificate, so as to comply with the relevant regulations. This problem is clear to everyone.
