Abstract

Civil service legislation grants public employees the right to submit a resignation request for their personal interest before reaching the legal retirement age; they request the administration to fulfill their request to terminate their employment relationship. However, this request does not produce any legal effects unless approved by the administration, which simultaneously has the authority to either approve the employee's request or deny it for the sake of public interest, or to postpone it for a legally specified period to ensure the regular and steady operation of the public facility. The resignation is viewed as an administrative process that arises once the employee submits a written request expressing their desire to leave the job and terminate their employment relationship with their workplace, concluding with the administration's acceptance of this request. This request is considered a manifestation of the employee's will to leave the service permanently before reaching the specified age for leaving service, while the acceptance of the resignation request is a manifestation of the employer's will to produce legal effects.
