What should be done if a client has voluntarily quit due to personal reasons?

When a client voluntarily quits for personal reasons, the correct approach is to document this situation as a voluntary quit. This documentation is essential for maintaining accurate records, which are important for assessing the client's eligibility for benefits or future services. Recording the details of the resignation ensures that there is a clear understanding that the individual left on their own accord, rather than being terminated or forced to leave.

Properly documenting a voluntary quit helps both the client and the service providers manage any potential benefits or services that might be affected by the change in employment status. This can include evaluations of eligibility for unemployment benefits or program participation.

In contrast, ignoring the quit does not provide a clear record and could lead to confusion or disputes in the future. Referring to legal counsel would typically not be necessary in routine situations involving voluntary quits unless there are legal complications. Counting the situation as a refusal of work mischaracterizes the client's decision and could incorrectly impact their eligibility for support services.
