Resignation

Termination
Employee Warning Notice
Employee Final Warning Notice
Employee Resignation Form
Exit Interview Questionnaire
Separation Checklist

My job is requiring that I give a months notice of resignation. Is that legal, I thought it only had to be two weeks? I am in the social service field.

Employers in almost every state cannot legally require that an employee give any notice at all. They can request it, they can expect it, they can give a less than glowing reference if they don’t get it and in some cases they can withhold earned vacation pay…but they can’t require it. What are they going to do if you give less notice…fire you?

If there is an employment contract in place that specifies one month’s notice, then yes, the employer can go to court to get it enforced if necessary.
