As long as you're a "good leaver" then you retain the shares and will be notified when you've left as to how many share you have and if you want to sell them.

To make it clear resigning, unless retiring does not count as a "good leaver". Only retiring or being made redundant count IIRC.

And if you're 60 or over and resigning, that counts as retiring and you keep the shares.

What about if you hand in a notice and work your notice, that means you're still not a good leaver?

You’re only a ‘good leaver’ if you are given IHR, EVR, VR or are over 60. Otherwise you have to wait until at least 3 years before you can sell them.
