What procedures should I follow when resigning?

The basic process for foreign nationals resigning is the same as for Japanese employees.
However, a notification regarding their Status of Residence is required.

[Procedures to be Performed by the Individual]
After resigning, the foreign national must submit a “Notification Regarding Affiliated (Contract) Organization” within 14 days.
This can be submitted online, in person, or by mail.

[Procedures to be Performed by the Company]
The company is responsible for the standard resignation procedures.
・Issuing a certificate of resignation
・Processing the termination of social insurance eligibility
・Processing the termination of employment insurance eligibility
There are no special additional procedures required simply because the employee is a foreign national.

Depending on the Status of Residence, special attention must be paid to the situation after resignation.
・Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services
・Specified Skilled Worker
Since “actual work status” is emphasized for these work visas, if the employee remains unemployed for an extended period after resignation, it may affect the renewal or continuation of their Status of Residence.
It is important to organize matters in advance to ensure a smooth resignation and subsequent procedures.
