A renunciation can consist of voluntarily turning away from something.
A renunciation is the consequence of giving up (that is, resigning oneself to something voluntarily or moving away from something that one possesses or can achieve, moving away from a project, depriving oneself of something or someone). The term identifies the document or instrument where the waiver is explicitly expressed or recorded.
For example: “The coach presented his resignation after another defeat for his team” , “I have already informed the managers that they have my resignation at their disposal” , “The president asked the Minister of Economy to resign after the corruption scandal” , “Today I decree my renunciation of chocolate and fried foods” , “Juan informed me of his resignation from the project for the creation of a new association” .
Resignation according to law
Understood from the field of law , renunciation constitutes an act of a legal nature and unilateral profile that offers the owner of a right the possibility of withdrawing from it without a specific beneficiary. Waivers are considered to be unilateral because they only require the will of their author to free himself from a right of his own assets.
In addition to all the characteristics presented, it must also be emphasized that other hallmarks that identify all renunciation are its abstract character , that it is liberating and that it is also abdicative .
When leaving a job, it is possible to submit a resignation letter.
Analysis of its characteristics
With the fact that it is designated as abstract , what we want to clearly express is that what is really important in it is the cause that leads someone to make the decision to proceed to present the resignation. More specifically, it is established that said cause is irrelevant.
The second characteristic mentioned is that it is liberating . As the adjective itself explains, what is made clear with that is that the moment a person presents the resignation, what he does is free himself, in addition to the rights existing up to that moment, from all the obligations, encumbrances and burdens that had.
And finally there is the third property that we have highlighted, which is abdicative . With this term what is intended to be expressed is that once the person has renounced the corresponding position over which he had ownership, and consequently his rights, it will be the law that will establish where everything that he has rejected will end up. .
Validity of a waiver
At a legal level, the resignation must meet certain requirements to be considered valid, such as not affecting the public interest or other individuals . The renunciation of rights, on the other hand, will be evaluated as long as the law does not prohibit what it is intended to renounce (this means that a person cannot, for example, renounce the so-called human rights).
According to the law, a waiver is irrevocable : once signed, the right that has been waived ceases to appear within the subject's assets and cannot be reinstated by his or her own will. When the resignation occurs only verbally, however, there is the possibility of going back since it has not yet materialized from a legal point of view.
a letter
When writing a resignation letter, a series of elements of great importance and usefulness must be included.
Among them would be the gratitude to the company for having been selected, the express and clear resignation, and finally a cordial greeting, thanking again for the trust placed.
