If you are a manager of a company and considering resignation, it is crucial to follow the legal process to ensure your decision is valid and properly documented. This guide explains all the necessary steps for formally and legally submitting your resignation.
Right to resign as a manager
According to Macedonian law, a manager has the right to resign at any time by submitting a written notice to the partners. Approval from them is not required—providing official notice is sufficient.
Important: If you are the sole partner of the company, you cannot resign as a manager unless you first appoint a new manager. This ensures the company remains legally managed.
Steps for a formal resignation
Preparing a Written Resignation Statement
Your resignation statement should include:
- Your name and position (manager)
- The company name
- A clear statement of resignation
- The effective date of your resignation
- Ensure that the statement is clear, concise, and unambiguous.
Notarization of the statement
For legal validity, the statement must be notarized. The notarization confirms the authenticity of the document and that you have personally signed it.
Notifying the partners
Once your resignation statement is notarized, you must deliver it to all company partners. This can be done through:
- Registered mail with confirmation of receipt
- Personal delivery with a signed acknowledgment
- Electronic communication (if allowed by the company’s statute)
Submitting a request to the central registry (CRM)
The next step is to officially register your resignation with the Central Registry. You will need:
- The notarized resignation statement
- Proof of delivery of the notice to the partners
Upon completion, your name will be removed from the registry as a manager
What If the partners refuse to accept your resignation?
Your resignation becomes effective upon notification, regardless of the partners’ response. If they do not appoint a new manager, the responsibility for the company shifts to them.
Closing arguments
Resigning as a manager is a formal process that requires compliance with legal steps. By properly documenting your resignation and notifying the relevant parties, you can step down without complications. If you encounter legal challenges, seeking advice from a legal expert is recommended for additional security.
