CHAPTER-1 THE PROCESS OF LEAVING FROM THE CURRENT WORKPLACE

 

We want to address the question of what employees can do to make their entry into a new workplace as successful as possible. A good and successful onboarding process is not solely the responsibility of the hiring company, but an employee must do their part to prepare for entry into the new work environment as well as possible. 

 

When you receive a job offer from a company, what you should do in your current company:

If you have questions about the offer, for example, wages and fringe benefits or articles containing prohibition of competition or special circumstances in the employment contract, possible starting date if you accept the offer, etc., you should discuss them with the company that made the offer.

 

When informing the company that you have accepted a job offer, it would be more accurate to say that you will inform the bidder company after you have clarified the possible start date and the date of leaving your company. 

 

When you accept the job offer, you can present your resignation letter by meeting with your manager in your current company. In doing so, according to Article 17 of the Labor Law, you must submit a notice varying between 2-8 weeks, depending on your seniority. In this case, you will be allowed to seek a job for 2 hours a day. You must also state in your petition that you want to use the job search leave by calculating the total job search leave at the end of the contract, by calculating 2 hours a day for each working day that coincides with the notice notice.

 

For example, if you have an 8-week notice period, if the number of working days before the notice is 40 working days, your job search leave will be: 40x2=80 hours. When you divide this into your 1-day working day, you have the opportunity to leave as early as the day.

 

In this case, you will be able to quit your job earlier than the job search permit.

Or, you can arrange your resignation reason accordingly, by getting a letter from SGK or by adding the relevant document to your petition in cases where legally entitlement to severance pay is required. In this case, you do not have to give notice, but you must work in the company for as long as you can transfer business due to business ethics. 

 

Your bidding company will not cause you any problems in waiting until your notice. You need to manage the process of leaving the current company without breaking the door and closing the doors. It is always important to leave your current company in good relations, both for business ethics and for reference in the future. Even if the bidding firm forces you, entering into situations that will disrupt your relations with the current firm poses a risk for your future. 

 

After giving notice to your current employer, you can inform the bidder of your date of employment with the firm. Before starting the new job, it is recommended that you prepare the employment documents requested by the company completely and deliver them on the desired day. 

 

If possible, use a few days off when you leave work to mentally distance yourself from your old employer and old job while also mentally preparing yourself for the new challenge.

 

It is very important to let go of the old post. You come to a new company, take on a new role, and it may even be accompanied by an increase in responsibility. Don't make the mistake of assuming that yesterday's answers will answer tomorrow's questions.

 

Every company has its own characteristics, every task has its own challenges... You'd better not make the mistake of thinking that everything will go on as before.

Therefore, consider the new employer. Analyze the environment in which you will work in the future. What problems and obstacles may you encounter and how do you intend to overcome them?

 

If you're well prepared and your future company takes the recruiting process seriously, nothing can stand in the way of fast and seamless onboarding.

 

We wish you a pleasant day
