What to do if the employer decides to refuse your services in a simple way - he offers to write a letter of resignation of his own free will?
According to current legislation, an employment contract can be terminated both at the initiative of the employee and at the initiative of the employer. The list of cases when an employer can terminate an employment contract is limited by law (Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation of December 30, 2001 N 197-FZ).
This includes the liquidation of a company, failure by an employee to fulfill his official duties or gross violation of them, reduction of the organization’s staff, etc.
It becomes clear that no matter how carefully we look at this list of these circumstances and the Labor Code as a whole, we will not find even a hint of the possibility of forcing an employee to resign of his own free will.
The employer has no legal grounds to force the employee to take such actions.
However, now this illegal method of dismissal is very common - the employee is asked to write a letter of resignation of his own free will if for some reason he has become disliked by his employer.
