When to resign?

[MiloMojo]

Hi guys. Need some help here regarding resignation. Paiseh if the qns sounds noob here. First time resigning. First job.

Background:

• I am planning to resign to find some time to recover from some health issues and to upskill myself at the same time.
• Not planning to take No Pay Leave as I feel stagnant at my job and hope to transition to something else.
• I am from the civil service. I have already gotten my Apr PB and salary.
• My notice period is 1 month.

Issue:
I am looking at 2 dates to resign:

• Option1: 1 May 20 (Fri)
• Option2: 12 May 20 (Tue)

Questions:

• Should I talk to my bosses earlier? Or can I just tender on 1 May / 12 May?
• If I tender on 1 May, my last day will be on 1 June. Does this means that my May salary is pro-rated? (My payday is on 12th every month)
• If so, to prevent getting a pro-rated salary, I should resign on 12 May instead?

Thanks in advances for all the advices!

Most certainly not now / in this climate

Are u essential worker?
If yes dont resign coz u are essential.

If no, now ccb. U get paid for staying at home. Why resign?

Even though you are paid on the 12th of each month, the pay is for the entire month.

Reference: Q11 at pacgov.agd.gov.sg/ipac/html/faq/faq.htm

So if you resign on 1st May and serve till 31st May (last day), you will receive the full pay for the month of May. Your final salary credit may or may not be on the 12th though, so check with HR.

Will suggest you to speak to your boss 2 or 3 days before you tender in case you ever want to come back to civil service. Hopefully you still have leave to offset your notice.
