Etiquette says you should give the 4 weeks notice. However if this means you may miss another opportunity, then be open and honest with your boss, these periods are normally negotiable. I know I have negotiated with team members in the past, and let them finish up earlier.
The Texas Work Commission (TWC) recognizes that two weeks' notice is standard in most industries. However, employees can resign with or without giving notice to their employer. In Texas, employees may become eligible for certain benefits if they provide notice before resigning.
You can follow these steps to format a simple resignation letter: Include contact information and date. Begin with a salutation. State your resignation. Explain why you are leaving (optional) ... Offer to help with the transition. Express your gratitude. Close and sign.
I am writing to inform you of my resignation from my position at Company Name, effective two weeks from today, Last Working Day. I appreciate the opportunities for professional development that I have experienced during my time here. Thank you for your understanding and support.
