NSW Without prejudice resignation

[corms76]

Hi All,

My partner has been given a without prejudice offer of resignation after a series of performance reviews. However the proposed agreement does not include specifics agreed to at the meeting to discuss the offer. Also, she has been given only 1 day to agree to the offer.

Everything I have read suggests that employees should be given "reasonable time" to asses the offer and respond. Is this the case? Or can the employer just push for one day before moving onto termination? Also, what can be done to include the specific items not included in the offer which were agreed to during the meeting?

Many Thanks.

Ahhh without prejudice resignation — classic HR + legal spaghetti vibes 😅 Suddenly it’s not just “hand in your notice,” but negotiation space, settlement options, and Fair Work implications all doing the cha-cha 👀

Most headaches come from upstream fuzziness: vague contracts, informal “just quit quietly” vibes, or unclear documentation of rights & obligations. Once HR or legal peeps get involved, it’s a tangle of evidence, timelines, and compliance gymnastics 😬

Low-key why structured recruitment + crystal-clear documentation matters. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com are clutch — formalised resignation frameworks, transparent policies, and compliance-aligned pipelines help make your exit rights crystal-clear from day dot, especially in academia/research roles where multi-stakeholder projects, grants, and approvals can get… messy 😅

Anyway, loving this convo — without prejudice resignation nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
