How to legally give resignation letter to the employer?

Hi, I have two week notice contract with my employer for resignation. My fear is that my employer might deny later saying that he hadn't received any such notice - even though I gave him one [sent through snail mail]. So, how to go about this? Thank you, Kris

1. Why did you not email it? Electronic signatures are legal. You did talk to him right? Or will he be blindsided by your snail mail letter?
2. You should have handed it to him in person. Now, if you asked if he received it, he may think you are being a smart @ss.
3. Ummm...you write a letter to them saying you want to resign! duh.
4. Yeah, what he said......sensible man
5. Hand the resignaion to the employer personnally-- no lost mail
6. Write it in a letter and personally give it to them. That way you know that he recieved it and he cant deny it.
7. I would personally serve him the letter. If you are still concerned, you could send a follow up letter via certified mail, with a receipt. This cost about $2.40
8. you should make a copy of the letter, because there is no way he could deny it.
9. is better for you to talk to the person in eye to eye and give him the letter also is a good idea for u to always make a copy and keep it in case of an emergency.
10. You should have hand delivered it with a witness present. Ask him if he got it. If he says no put one in his hand.
11. Must be one hell of a company that requires you to sign a contract to terminate your employment. Check on your state laws regarding termination of employment. For example, Alabama is what is called a "At Will State". If you work in a state that falls under this catagory, you can terminate your employment at any time with or without notice and the employer can do the same. Type a termination noticed and had it to him.
12. Personally file your resignation letter with your employer or the personnel officer two weeks prior to the effectivity of your voluntaty termination of employment. Keep a copy of the letter which bears the stamp of the receiving person. Your boss cannot legally deny your resignation and force you to work with him against your will; its involuntary servitude!
