When is the T-8 dismissal order form used?
An order for voluntary dismissal is issued on the basis of a corresponding application from the employee.
In this case, the dismissal order makes reference to clause 3, part 1, art. 77 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Be sure to familiarize the dismissed employee with the order on the day of dismissal against signature. If an employee refuses to sign or there is no way to familiarize him with the order, a note about this is made on the document (Article 84.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The T-8 dismissal order form is universal and can be used in various situations related to the dismissal of employees (meaning various grounds for dismissal).
Order T-8 is not the only document that is drawn up upon dismissal of one’s own free will. What other documents will be required, how to draw them up correctly and what other actions to take in connection with the dismissal, you can find out in ConsultantPlus.

Order
Termination of an employment contract must follow a certain procedure described in labor legislation, namely, in Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
In two weeks (or less), the chief accountant must transfer his affairs (as well as all reporting documentation) to the new employee in his position, the CEO or owner of the company.
Statement
In the labor legislation of the Russian Federation there is no unified application form for voluntary dismissal.
However, there are some principles that need to be followed when resigning :
- The application must be handwritten (although even if it is typed on a computer and then printed, it must be accepted for registration).
- The application must be written in the name of the employer or his authorized representative, for example, the general director, who is an employee.
In the upper right corner you need to indicate:
- Full name and position of the person in whose name the application is written.
- Name of the employer, indicating the organizational and legal form.
- Full name indicating the position of the person making the application.
After which, in the middle of the page you should write the word “Statement”. After it, the very essence of this document is written. In the case of a resignation letter, you must indicate the following :
- The day on which the employee wishes to resign.
- For what reason does the employee want to leave (in this case - “At his own request”).
- If there is some unused vacation and you want to use it, then write about it.
- Date of.
- Applicant's signature.
After which the resulting application is sent to the employer or to the personnel department. It is advisable to make two copies of the application so that on one of them the recipient puts a mark with the number of the incoming document and, of course, his signature.
If this is not possible, the application should be sent by registered mail.
How to fill out an order
The dismissal order is drawn up by a personnel employee. In the column in which the basis for termination of the trade union must be indicated, the exact wording of the reason for dismissal must be given with reference to the norm of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In the line where the basis document should be described, its name and details are indicated in the form of number and date. For example, this could be a statement from the employee himself, a memo, a medical report, a summons to the army, etc.
If an order is drawn up to dismiss a materially responsible person, it will need to be accompanied by documentary evidence of the absence of property claims against the dismissed employee. If the dismissal order is issued on the initiative of the company’s management, then the opinion of the trade union of this organization (if it has been created and is functioning) is attached to the order.
Dismissal at the initiative of the employer
It is impossible to fire the chief accountant (like any other employee) simply because of personal hostility. A reason is required for termination of the employment contract by the employer. What is called, “according to the article” .
Not long ago they wrote on “Clerk” that the head of the HR department was looking for ways to fire the chief accountant only because she wanted an increase in salary due to the assignment of additional responsibilities. Moreover, in essence, there was nothing to undermine the work - the chief accountant performed her duties without complaints.
But if the chief accountant is still unscrupulous, then the Labor Code has a basis enshrined in clause 5, part 1, art. 81 Labor Code (repeated failure to fulfill labor duties).
Another reason is the adoption by the chief accountant of a decision that led to a violation of the safety of property , its unlawful use or other damage to the company’s property (clause 9, part 1, article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
If the chief accountant combines work with servicing inventory (for example, he is also a cashier), then the grounds for dismissal under clause 7.1, part 1, art. 81 TK. Due to loss of trust .
Another option is to reduce the accounting department in principle, with the aim of outsourcing accounting .
In all other cases, including the famous “write your own way,” there is a risk for the employer of going to court, being forced to return the fired employee to his position, and paying average earnings for the period of wrongful dismissal.

How long to work
One of the key questions that concerns an employee—how much work to do when leaving voluntarily—is not difficult. The established period is two weeks, but by agreement with the employer the employment contract can be terminated earlier. In accordance with Letter of Rostrud No. 1551-6 dated September 05, 2006, the deadline for dismissal at one’s own request begins the next day after the employer receives the application. The duration of the period is two weeks. Therefore, if the application is sent by mail, it is necessary to take into account the time it takes to deliver the postal item.
If the employer receives a document whose date does not correspond to a two-week period, he can:
- agree and resign on the date specified in the application;
- disagree and warn the employee about it.
When it is impossible for an employee to continue working (enrollment in an educational organization, retirement and other cases) and in cases of established violation by the employer of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts, local regulations, conditions of a collective agreement, agreement or employment contract, the employer is obliged to terminate the employment contract within the period specified in the application.
