If you have just issued an employee with dismissal during a disciplinary hearing and they then hand you their resignation - does the sanction supersede the resignation or can I accept the resignation?

On a purely technical level, if the notice they have to give for resignation is shorter than the notice for dismissal, then the resignation will take effect and they will exit earlier. Otherwise the resignation will have no effect.

Thanks Ray, the dismissal was with immediate effect so the resignation would therefore have no effect.

In reply to Kazie:
And even if they did resign the reason for leaving should still be dismissal as you had issued the sanction
