Resignation Letter
Discussion
I need to write a resignation letter, and I want to detail my reasons for leaving in it (harrasement from a male colleague) as I think it 'may' get nasty, I need some serious suggestions please, hence posting in here rather than P&P, as when I have tried to draft it, my emotions run away with me and I know that is not right!
Do we have any employment specialists here please as I also need to check where I stand?

Ali, go see a lawyer, pronto.
If you want this to go any further than a Tut and an immediate cessation of chocolate ration for said pillock, then you are probably going to have to go down the constructive dismissal route.
If HR havent helped (and as you're here, they havent) then feel no guilt.

I want to - but have no idea where to start to look for one!
This is they guy that I complained about months ago in P&P

As has been said, you need to consult a solicitor, and make the company fully aware of the fact if nothing is done about harrassment you will be resigning.
I'm resigning anyway - given the 'conversations' that I've had with my Manager since I complained, they are looking to 'get rid' of me rather than him.

It might be worth taking some employment law advice, as you may well have a case for constructive dismissal case too?
I know someone who might be able to help you, feel free to mail me off PH.

By giving the reason you are making allegations that may or may not be proveable.
Frankly I think you're better off just writing a brief letter to the effect of 'I resign', and making your feelings known, if you really have to, verbally.

Having already complained verbally, I want my backside covered for the future...

Speak to Catherine Gannon at Gannon and Co. She's a good solicitor and very up front about things. Be aware that, as with all lawyers, the meter starts running as soon as she picks up the phone...
Thanks - that is what I'm scared of I can't afford it

Right - but as someone has said, if you put allegations, and more importantly, complaints against the management in the letter, it could end up being very unfavorable for you in the future.
The best thing to put if your certain your leaving, is simply "I regret to inform you I am tendering my resignation from the post within the company due to personal reasons".

Then complain in writing. Your company should have a published grievance procedure (do you have a staff handbook or similar) that by law they have to follow.
I agree with simpo two that putting in allegations in a resignation letter is not a good idea. The alleged will still have recourse for a counter grievance (based on your allegations) against you even if you have left (Likewise you can continue a grievance claim even if you leave)
Make the grievance official (in fact by law it already is, but write it down to emphasise the point) and get advice (CAB should be able to help).
All IMHO I am not an employment lawyer but I do deal with HR matters all too frequently.

I paid £195 + VAT for initial advice, drafting of letters, etc. That was a few years ago, so it might have snuck up a little.
You need to decide whether you're going to keep the job even if you are successful in any kind of legal action. If not then it might be best to treat this as an opportunity, find a better role and move on.
I need to resign - am on 3 months notice, and am on the verge of crying everyday with not wanting to go in.
Besides, I think it's resign or be pushed, and I do not want to be pushed!!
Thanks all - I will word the letter very carefully in light of what is being advised, and take legal advice before I do anything

Why should you think they want to push you out?
Are you going to be made redundant?
Have you comitted some misdemeanor?
If you have, have they formally warned you?
Don't make life easy for them by resigning.

The attitude of my Line Manager towards me
Nope
Nope, not that I'm aware of.
No, but my Line Manager had a 'chat' with my about my "unprofessional attitude" in changing my mind about moving down South, my occassional lateness (due to roadworks on the M6) and sickness record (migraine caused by stress - now on anti depressants as a result!) Having another chat in December to see if I have "improved".
I want to make life easy for me - I hate it there now, I cannot move in the office without him watching me.
