A resignation, it cannot be refused
First good news for the resigner: the employer cannot legally refuse a resignation (unless the resigner is on CDD and does not wish to leave for a CDI). On the other hand, he can, to save a little time, refuse to take the letter of resignation that the employee wanted to hand-deliver.
A registered letter to record the resignation and notice
If your employer refuses to hand-deliver the mail, send your resignation letter by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt
This approach produces two effects. First, it records your resignation. And, she runs the start of the notice. The latter runs in effect from the date of the first presentation of the registered letter to your employer.

For the duration of the notice, please note that there are no specific provisions in the Labor Code. You must refer to your employment contract, your collective agreement, or failing that, to the practices in force in your profession.
Your resignation recorded, your notice limited, all you have to do is work until the last day, to organize the transfer of your files, to make a farewell party and to thank those who remain. And ciao, bye bye!
