Concerned About Safety: How to Write a Resignation Letter Due to Late Working Hours

Dear HR, please suggest a resignation letter for late working hours until 11 pm at night. I stay in Noida and work in Delhi. Delhi is not safe for girls to travel back late at night.

Thank you.

What exactly do you require? Do you need the format of the resignation letter, or do you want a letter to be drafted and addressed to HR for a solution? Please let the forum know so that appropriate advice can be provided.

Just put in a normal resignation letter stating personal reasons. Add a line: "The late working hours, which often extend to 11 pm, are a security hazard for me and are a contributing factor to my resignation."

In reality, it is not necessary for you to provide any reason for resignation. You can just explain when HR calls you and asks for a reason.

Apart from what Mr. Banerjee has advised, I would suggest sending a grievance letter to HR regarding late working hours until 11 pm. As a woman, you should request the company to ensure your safe transportation home by providing a cab with security. If the company refuses, it would be appropriate for you to take further action.

Lastly, for your resignation format, please refer to the link below where you will find the appropriate format. Kindly make any necessary amendments to suit your requirements.

If you understand your work responsibilities and believe they cannot be managed within the appropriate timing, then speak to your HR about your security concerns due to timing issues. For late working hours, the company should provide a cab facility with security. Try to arrange a grievance session and present your concerns to HR. If you don't find any solution, then consider searching for a new role and submit your resignation in a simple manner without providing a reason. As my friends have already mentioned, resignation is the final step. Before that, try to address your issues as soon as possible.

As advised by the majority of members, resignation should be the last resort. According to the security guidelines issued by the Delhi Police, the employer must make necessary security arrangements in case a woman employee needs to work late. This includes the provision of a company cab with a security guard or a male colleague accompanying as the last drop.

I would like to admire you for responding to me with your comments. I have resigned from my company, stating that it is due to late working hours.

Resignation Due to Late Working Hours

Dear Ma'am, I would like to inform you that due to late working hours, I am unable to continue my service with your esteemed organization and am resigning from my services as of today, i.e., 23rd Dec. 2013. As per the company policy, I am ready to serve my notice period of one week and request you to relieve me ASAP from my services if things are cleared soon.

I am thankful to the management for all the support and encouragement extended to me during my tenure, for which I shall be ever grateful. I would like to leave this company on a positive note and wish you and the company success in the future.

Regards,

It seems that you were very much disturbed by this profile, so you gave your resignation. Well, it's quite fine. Just seek approval for this letter because somewhere you mentioned that you are ready to serve your notice period. Instead of this, if you specify that your notice period will start from a particular date, it will initiate your notice period. HR may take some time to approve it, and then they will allow you to start your notice period. Alternatively, they may consider it final and commence your period from the same date. Therefore, speak to your HR personally regarding this matter. Wishing you luck for your future.

Regards.
