Uzbek Resignation Letter (Ariza)

Article 160 of the Labour Code of Uzbekistan — termination at the employee's own initiative. Under it an employee may terminate an open-ended contract, or a fixed-term contract before its end, by notifying the employer in writing. The ariza cites that article as its ground (sources: lex.uz, Labour Code art. 160; guidance from kadrovik.uz and norma.uz).

For an ordinary employee, 14 calendar days. The period depends on the category: 2 months for the head of an organisation, 1 month for a deputy head or chief accountant, 3 calendar days for seasonal and temporary employees, and 7 calendar days for micro-firm, sole-trader and household employees. This tool counts the last working day from the category you choose — a wrong date there is the commonest reason an ariza is sent back.

Yes. During the notice period — up to the last working day — the employee may withdraw the application, and the contract is not terminated. The exception is where another employee whose hiring cannot lawfully be refused has already been invited in writing to take the post.

Two ways. By agreement: if the employer consents, the period is shortened. Or under art. 160 §8: where a circumstance prevents the employee from continuing work (admission to study, retirement, election to an elective post and similar cases), the employer must terminate on the date the employee asks for. State the reason in the application and attach the document that confirms it.

Both are valid — the law requires written form, and printed is written form. The signature is always by hand. Prepare two copies and have the office mark one as received: that mark is what later proves the notice date.
