Document background
A Letter of Resignation Due to Mental Health is a crucial document used when an employee needs to end their employment relationship primarily due to mental health concerns. This document type is particularly relevant in New Zealand, where mental health is recognized as a legitimate health concern under various legislative frameworks including the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. The letter serves as an official record of the employee's decision to resign, typically including the resignation date, notice period, and a general reference to health reasons without requiring detailed medical information. It's designed to protect the employee's privacy rights while fulfilling legal obligations under New Zealand employment law. The document should be professional and concise while maintaining appropriate boundaries regarding personal health information disclosure.
