Should I give more than two weeks notice when I leave my job?

It's an unwritten rule to give your job two weeks notice, but I gave my last supervisor a months notice so she would have time to find a replacement (or at least start looking for one) and possibly getting someone in so I could train the person before I left.\n\nSo, if you have more than two weeks notice and your boss has been exceptionally good to you, I would go ahead and give further notice. My employer really appreciated that I did.

e-mail (for written notification), but call first... most employers are sympathetic, but if they aren't you may need to contact HR - most companies will give you 3 days off with pay and if you need more, you can take leave.

You should check your employee handbook to see if there are any procedures  set forth regarding resignations.  So far as I know, there is no requirement for you to say why you are leaving and I sure wouldn't volunteer a reason.  Before you mention your resignation to anyone else, tell your boss first and do it in private. You should put your resignation in writing.  Just say you are resigning effective July    , 2006.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your company for the last      years or monhts  or set up a meeting with him with the reason being a personnel matter.  Gather all of your strength and be pleasant to your boss and all of your colleagues and don't say anything negative to anyone about your boss. I don't know how long you've been there.  If your boss coerces you to give a reason, say your taking a little break for the summer and don't say anything more and keep saying it.  Practice before hand if you must.  Take a lesson from Star Jones Reynolds--she surprised Barbara Walters in front of a gazillion viewers with her resignations and Barbara felt blindsided.  It doesn't matter how bad the circumstances. You don't want to embarrass or anger (and it wouldn't take much with this guy) someone who has been your boss.   Good luck in your future.  Don't be surprised if he says you don't have to stay for the 2 week notice period.  So, expect the unexpected and be calm.  You are in charge this time.

As long as you talk to your boss beforehand, it's not a big deal since you have a decent excuse.  Your paycheck on that last day won't be affected because usually paychecks are for the previous 2 weeks.  Your final paycheck will be missing that last day since you didn't show up unless you can argue that it was a vacation day or whatever.\n\nIf you just leave, you might not get a good reference from your former company.   You might also want to rearrange your exit interview for your final day that you will be there so that you leave on relatively good terms.

Give two weeks notice.  Then flip them off as you walk out the door.

If you are not currently UNemployed, then write down "ASAP", if you are employed, give them a date 2 weeks from today and let them know that you have to give your current employer a 'two-week' notice, that way they know that you are responsible and won't leave them hanging if you find another job. :)

Normally it's six week notice to give to your boss. But five is fine.  Do it now so they can prepare to find a replacement for you (and might have to train) to take over when you leave.

Most employment is "at will", i.e. it can be terminated by either party at any time with whatever notice (if any) a party wishes to give.  A 2 week notice by an employee has become an accepted practice but an employee owes an employer no notice should the employee quit and not want to give notice.\n\nLikewise, the employer owes the employee no notice.  Many employers decide not to have a departing employee talking to other employees for 2 weeks and just let them go with no notice to avoid that.\n\nBut that means the employee has been terminated and did not resign because the termination was before the termination  became effective.\n\nYou do not have to be paid for the 2 weeks if, as my entire answer has been predicated on, we are talking about "at will"employment with no other employment contract issues.

Hmm...Write up a nice resignation letter, stating how much you have enjoyed working at his firm, your regret at needing to resign, your reasons for leaving, etc. If possible, offer to train your replacement.\n\nIn your situation, the sooner you tell him, the better. That way, he will have more time to hire and train a suitable person before your departure.

anywhere that you are employed you are asked to give a two week notice before leaving.This does look good on you when using them for a future refrence.It doesn't matter if you are still on your probationary period.

When you take on a new job, there is always that first 90 days in which either you or the employer can decide if it is the right job for you.  Either side can end the employment within that first 90 days with no repercussions.  It sounds like a place where NObody should be working!  Or maybe somebody else...(newly-hired management)needs to get in there, clean house, and hire people who are qualified for the job.  Meanwhile, you need to get out of there while your customer service skills are still intact...first 90 days or not!  You deserve better.  I'd hate to see you give up and become like them...which may be what'll happen.

I think it would be a mistake to tell your boss that you’re looking for a different job.  You really have no obligation to tell anyone until you submit your official resignation.  Your boss may be nice and you feel guilty for looking for a new job; but, when it comes right down to it, your boss’s priority is covering his butt.  You tell him now that you’re looking to leave, he may very well think that he will give you plenty of time to look for a new job and figure out a way to fire you so he can get someone else hired and trained ASAP.  Besides, people change jobs all the time.  It’s not like he will be totally shocked. \nLook at it this way:  What would you think if the boss came to you and said “look, we’re planning to lay you off some time in the near future.  I’ll let you know when we figure out when.”  \nBut at the same time,  you do have an ethical obligation to give the boss at least two weeks notice, more if your work is highly specialized and/or technical.  Negotiate enough time before your start date with your new employer.  Don’t burn your bridges.  You may want to leave the door open to return if the new job doesn’t workout.

Tell them if they only accept it after Thanksgiving, it will be a one week notice.  I've never heard of a boss doing that.  When IS a good time?  I mean, you never like to lose people but if they resign, you can't put it off by telling them 'now is not a good time'.  Sheesh.

granted it would be nice to have a notice, but since they are termination your emplyment, there is nothing saying they have to give a notice...if they want u can get to work and that morning as SOON as u get there, they can fire you or they can also wait until your shift is over and terminate the employment then.  hope that helps!!

Give them a three week notice for now, and if you find out you will have to leave a little sooner than that, let them know right away! Thats about as fair as it can get without losing a paycheck!
