Do you write your two weeks notice to the owner of a business or the manager?

Question

I am giving my two weeks notice at a restaurant. I see the manager of the restaurant less frequently than the owner. Who are you supposed to write your resignation letter to? Does it matter?

Answer 1

It is the manager who pays you; so you should always write your letter to your manager or your Human Resources Manager.  The person at the top should always get your resignation first.

Answer 2

i would give it to my manager but i dont see anything wrong with giving one to the owner too

Answer 3

Write it to your immediate supervisor--your boss. Since you see the owner more often, copy him or her on it.

Answer 4

Write to your immediate boss, whoever he/she is.  It matters.  Write the owner only if you have good reasons to go over the manager's head.

Answer 5

Your manager should get your letter of resignation.

Answer 6

They should have guidelines for that but usually it is the immediate supervisor (manager).  Whoever interviewed and hired you, is in charge of payroll and/or deals with things like who you referred to when you needed time off, that sort of thing.
