Without prejudice resignation

[corms76]

Hi All,

My partner has been given a without prejudice resignation offer after a series of performance reviews. However she has been given only one day to respond to the letter and key points agreed to during the meeting have been omitted from the offer. Everything I have read suggests she be given "reasonable time" to consider the offer before replying, is this the case or can the employer just proceed? Also, what can be done regarding the omitted items originally agreed to?

Many Thanks

What's the dollar number to accompany the immediate resignation?
And is it enough to walk immediately?
Does she even want to stay?

It's around three months salary, however the items agreed to consist of the ability to get decent references for future employment.
It's not a question of wanting to stay, she will leave the job, however the time frame seems unreasonable to iron out these issues. So my question is legally, once they have submitted the offer can they only give one day for her to accept it and then withdraw?

She (not you) will need case specific advice.
However, if it's unreasonably short, then she should reply immediately and say so.

Yes, and offers can be withdrawn anytime before acceptance.
