No matter the timing or the reason — be it a move to a new company or even a new industry — you should always try to resign gracefully, which includes giving your current employer a 2 week notice.
Write a simple two sentence resignation letter addressed to your boss. In the first sentence, state that you are resigning your position. In the second sentence, state that your last day will be two weeks from the date of your letter. Print your letter on plain paper, sign it and copy it for your files.
There are no California state laws or any federal employment laws that require you to provide 2 weeks notice before resigning. However, just because there is no legal obligation to provide it under state labor law does not mean that you are not contractually obligated to do so.
While you might be able to quit at any time, California's labor laws do require you to give at least 72 hours' notice if you want your final paycheck at the time you leave. Employees who do not give three days' notice or more must wait three days for their employer to deliver or mail their paycheck.
In California, there is generally no requirement that you give your employer two weeks notice, or any notice for that matter, before quitting or terminating a job. Though employers who receive two weeks notice may be more likely to give you positive references in the future.
While not legally required, quitting without notice can have consequences. It might tarnish your professional reputation, and you might not be eligible for unemployment benefits if you can't demonstrate a valid reason for resigning.
Dear (Supervisor's Name), I would like to inform you of my intention to resign from (Position Name) at (Company Name), effective two weeks from today, (Current Date). I appreciate the opportunities you've given me during my tenure at (Company Name).
Do include details like whether you intend to give two weeks' notice if you're willing to stick around to train your replacement or whether you'll be leaving effective immediately. Don't go into why you hate your job, how you're so happy you're leaving, and how you hope they have a terrible fiscal year without you.
