Assuming you're staying in the same career field (and maybe even if not), be as professional as possible -- written notice in a polite and positively-worded manner, thanking your current employer for the opportunities your job has provided (if you hate it and didn't get much from it, it's OK to be very general, but you should still say it -- we all get at least a little out of every job).  Check any contractual or legal requirements, because obviously you want to comply with anything like that which may impose a certain time frame.\n\nBurning bridges might feel gratifying in the heat of the moment, but it will never do any good, and can certainly do harm to your future opportunities.  (Not sure if you were even considering this, so this is just a general comment.)\n\nWe all hear how important a first impression is, but I firmly believe a "last impression" has a huge impact as well.  If you leave a very solid last impression, it may override less positive memories a person or company may have about you.

First of all be honest on why are leaving.\n\nGiving your two weeks notice to leave a job is not easy but if you play it smart it is not that difficult.\n\nNo one can tell you what to say but you. You of course should be professional but you should state your reason clearly because this job will probably be a reference check for your next job.\n\nType up the resignation letter on bond paper and give it to someone in HR (or your boss if need be) as soon as you can. You don't want the other company waiting to long for your to start working.\n\nCheck out the link below. Make sure you proofread you letter and of course try to be short and to the point.\n\nI hope this info is helpful to you and best of luck on your new job!

I think the situation would be the same in your arena as in mine (hospitality industry - small town - avg monthly pay about $800.00).  First, need to find if these changes are being done exclusively by your boss or manager or whether it's being dictated by higher up.  If it's your boss or manager, request a meeting, have a presentation ready to back up your views, and have alternatives available for discussion.  If it's higher ups, request a meeting with your boss and discuss if he's feeling a decline in productivity and discuss your views to see their reaction, then find out if there is any way of making a presentation for the higher ups to discuss alternatives.\n\nIn our situation, employee moral is flagging, we've had staff quit, then restart to force fifty cent an hour raises they had been promised, slackness in attention to detail, even one instance where I had been asked to work a shift and the person originally scheduled also in, and when they checked with the office, found the manager unavailable, but his name had been scratched from the schedule - no forewarning of dismissal.\n\nEven though the manager is taking their cue directly from owner, after I made presentation, it took 3 weeks to get a response, and where she originally indicated she would consider anything to help resolve the situation, it was pretty much that she didn't pass it on, and that I should spend more time concentrating on work and less on improving conditions.  Just be prepared that your suggestions might not be taken in the spirit being offered.

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.

Type up your two weeks notice. Remember to state how wonderful it was to work their and how much you enjoy being their. Tell them you would love to stay, but you have recieved a job offer you can just not refuse. They should be very understanding. Heck , if it is that bad, they may ask where you are going and if you would keep them in mind. I used a similar strategy when I left my last job. They asked me "What can we do to make you say? Would a $2/hr increase keep you here?" That is the response I got. I left that job just before it shut down with a few good references, both typed and in word. Good luck

It's no fun to quit really....\n\nHave your resignation letter ready, and just tell your boss.  Say thanks for the opportunity, but I'm making a strategic career move.  No complaining, no explaining.\n\nNo one will ever fault you for taking a better job!\n\nCongratulations!!!!!

They will not give you a two week notice when they fire you.\nThink about it

It would be proper to give notice so they can fill that spot of yours that is going to be there 22 hours less than what it has been. Whether you are there or not the job still has to be done and they need to be able to replace you with someone who can be there during those times

It should be written in your contract. Normally though if you are paid weekly you have to give a wekks notice and the same for a month ie. a months notice. In higher powered jobs it is often expected that a three month period of notice be given but it must state this in your contract.

Simply say "I regret to inform you, but I must resign from my current position. My last day will be_____. I will gladly help with the pursuit and training of a replacement until that time. I appreciate the experience this firm has given me." It's usually best if you don't put a reason in writing, as it's your right to quit without cause....and anything you say will only annoy your boss, or get you in some kind of legal trouble. If asked, say you got a better offer, or say you were looking for something that provides more of a challenge. You may find your boss will give you a raise to keep you.

Well since you're moving in January then thats fact ! You have nothing to be shy about. You have a life just like others in which anything can happen. Just go up to your boss and tell him/her that You have something important to discuss and if he/she has time to discuss sit down with'em and tell them that due to whatever circumstances or family decision you will be moving therefore you would like to give notice. Your boss should appreciate your honesty of giving them a heads up in advance rather then just calling in one day and saying you won't be showing up. Atleast you're giving your boss a chance to find your replacement so they would infact appreciate it more.  So don't be shy about it, be very frank and profesional about it. Its a normal thing.

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.

Write a polite letter stating your departure date and thanking your employer for the opportunity to work for them.  You do not need to tell them your reason for leaving in the letter, but leave the option open for them to ask.  Many employers reserve a right to a "departure interview" where they will ask why you are leaving, but a lot of places don't take the time to ask, they just work on replacing you.  Here's an example:\n\nDear Boss,\n\nPlease accept my resignation of my position as *whatever*.  My last day will be *two weeks from date of letter*.  I have enjoyed my time at your company and greatly appreciate the opportunities provided for professional and personal growth.  I will be happy to speak with you further at your convenience.\n\nSincerely,\nMe

I'd stick with your current job.\n\n(1) Permanent position really means you can be fired at any time for any reason or for no reason. Contract actually gives you (albeit not much) job security.\n(2) I really dont see any other positive with the second job.\n\nWhy are you limiting yourself to two companies? Expand!

This is best if done on company letterhaed, even if you need to design this for the job.\nThe letter should state:\nThe announcement of the move, including an effective date or range of dates.\nThe new location and any change of mailing address.\nAny change in telephone numbers, if necessary or a statement that you can still be reached at the old number.\nIf you want, a reason for the change in address (bigger, better, more centrally located, etc.).\nYou should also include an assurance that the quality of goods and services will not be changed.\nYou might also give a number to call if they have any question or a small map of the new location.

Sorry but you are in breach of your contract (assuming it says you give a months notice) unless by mutual agreement.\n\nIt is not clear if they are only paying you for the final 1 week or making a deduction over and above that.  If you only worked 1 week and that is what they paid you for then that is reasonable.  \n\nIf they are making a higher deduction then this is probably inappropriate and you could most likely make a successful claim against them - unfortunately this is something that requires you to get specific legal advice including sight of your contract of employment.  Be aware though they could counterclaim for breach of contract!\n\nHope this helps
