How to Quit a Job: Leave Professionally

To quit a job professionally, review your contract and workplace policy, decide on your intended last day, tell your manager directly, and send a short written resignation. Keep the explanation brief, document the handoff, return company property, and confirm final pay, benefits, records, and system access.
