FAQ

That is the mantra we often hear when someone is contemplating leaving their job. But is giving 2 weeks' notice always necessary before you quit a job in California? This amount of forewarning—while it might be a nice thing to do—is not required by law.

A two weeks notice letter should include your contact information, the date, the recipient's information, a clear statement of resignation, your last working day, an offer to assist during the transition, and a note of gratitude towards your employer.

How to write a resignation letter Record the time and date. Start with an address line. Include a statement of resignation. List your last day or work. Add a statement of gratitude. List next steps or important information. Close with your signature.

I am writing to inform you that I am resigning from my position at (Company Name), effective two weeks from today (Date). Thank you for the opportunities and support you have provided during my time here.

Under Labor Code Section 202, when an employee not having a written contact for a definite period quits his or her employment and gives 72 hours prior notice of his or her intention to quit, and quits on the day given in the notice, the employee is entitled to his or her wages at the time of quitting.

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.

Employment in California is largely governed by a legal doctrine known as “at-will employment.” If you're wondering whether you can be fired without warning in California, the answer is yes. In most cases, you can.

State that you're resigning from your position. Specify the effective date, which is two weeks. Express appreciation for the opportunities. Indicate your decision to move on. Offer to assist in a smooth transition. Thank the recipient for their understanding.

I usually just write: Dear (supervisor's name), I am writing to place my two week's notice. My last day of work will be (date). You can add a simple ``thank you for the opportunity'' if you actually feel good about the job or the manager, but it isn't needed.
