FAQ

Consider giving two weeks' notice even if you've only been with your company for a few months. This allows time for your employer to get organized to replace your position. Give at least a two weeks' notice if you've been with your company for more than two years.

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.

Technically, the answer is yes. In most cases, it's entirely up to the employer to determine whether they want the person who is resigning to complete their final two weeks or whether they'd prefer to let them go right away.

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.

In states with at-will employment laws, including Massachusetts, employees typically have the right to resign from their job at any time, with or without notice, and for any reason, without facing legal penalties.

While you may not be legally required to give notice, most employers expect a notice of two weeks or more to help them reassign your responsibilities and hire a new employee.
