    Good morning,
    We were in the middle of issuing a termination notice to an employee (after previous written warnings and suspension, following company procedure), when the employee asks to resign. We have a termination notice that employee refused to sign as he would rather resign that be terminated. Would we be able to accept his resignation or just take it as a reaction to the termination?

    Thank you for your response. We are confident in our termination process in this particular case as this employee initially received a written warning about specific concerns, re-offended, was given a second warning and a suspension,  returned from suspension, re-offended and was terminated.  It was during the termination she resigned.
    Given our exposure for constructive dismissal and wrongful dismissal are somewhat equal, would accepting the resignation be the better of the two options?”
