6 Leave on the Right note

• Make sure that you've given ample notice to the firm of your intention to leave. Your notice period is usually stated in your contract of employment or in the Company handbook. Where no period of notice is stipulated, you should allow between 2 and 4 weeks for any handover of work to take place.
• Make sure that you've completed any outstanding tasks and participated in the smooth handover of any unfinished work.
• Ensure that your boss knows that you've actively participated in this process and that you have been as co-operative as possible
• Take time out to speak to all of your colleagues and associates. Give them support and make positive comments about their contribution to your time at the firm. Try and remain in touch because again, you never know when they'll be useful to your personal and career development in the future.
• Negotiate a fair settlement for any outstanding salary / commission payments that are due to you
