Abstract
In France like in UK, employees have two ways to leave their company: resignation and constructive dismissal. First, we are going to compare resignation, Lison will talk about France and I will talk about UK and you will see that the two systems are very similar.
In France, resignation allows the employee to terminate his indefinite term contract without having to justify his decision. It is a right that the employee can use when he want to. However, the resignation shall not be excessive, that is to say, taken with the intent to harm the employer.
There are a lot of similitary between the French and the English resignation. A resignation is a unilateral termination of a contract of employment by the employee, it's a right for the employee. In France, the employee who signed a fixed-term contract is not allowed to resign.
