Article 49.1.d) of the Statute sets no period at all: it asks for «the notice laid down by collective agreements or by local custom». The fifteen days shown by default are the commonest practice, not the law.
That deduction is authorised by your collective agreement, not by the Statute. Where the agreement does not provide for it, the employer has to claim damages and prove them.
Fifteen days are in the Statute, in six articles: 12.4.e), 37.3, 41.3, 48, 49.1.c) and 53.1.c). None of them is the resignation, and two of them are the notice the employer owes you.
The only exit notice with a number in the law is article 21.3: thirty days to end a full-dedication agreement, losing its supplement.
If you signed a retention agreement for training the company paid for, article 21.4 entitles it to damages if you leave before the term.
Put dates on your departure
Notice runs in calendar days from the day you hand in the letter, so weekends and public holidays count.
Gross, indicative figures. Your collective agreement may set a different notice period and improve any of these rights. This is not employment advice.
The notice period is a fact about your collective agreement, not a legal constant: the Statute sets none for a resignation.
