Maryland is an at-will employment jurisdiction; therefore, in the absence of an express contract, agreement, or policy to the contrary, either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship with or without cause, and with or without notice.
Some contracts stipulate specific notice periods or penalties for leaving without notice. Failing to comply with these terms can lead to legal disputes or financial repercussions.
To establish good cause, the claimant must show that the cause for leaving is directly attributable to, arising from or connected with the conditions of the employment or the actions of the employer. Purely personal reasons, no matter how compelling they may be, cannot constitute good cause.
It's perfectly legal to quit without notice in the USA. You would likely be coded as ineligible for rehire in the old employer's HR system. You also are unlikely to get a good reference (but smart employers don't permit references good or bad). Of course, with any voluntary quit, you can't get unemployment insurance.
Millions of people quit their jobs each month, and there are plenty of legitimate reasons for doing so. 1 You may want to explain your reasons in your resignation letter, but you're not obligated to provide an explanation.
I have decided to resign due to personal reasons that require my immediate attention. I appreciate the opportunities and experiences that I have gained while working at Company Name, and I am grateful for the support and guidance provided by my colleagues and superiors.
Go to the boss toward the end of your last day and tell them why you are quitting. There are very few situations where you should give notice. Quietly move your personal stuff out of your work area, leaving just the bare minimum before you leave. After the initial surprise, not giving notice will be quickly forgotten.
If you quit without notice, your employer could sue you for any damages caused by your breach of contract, eg if they had to hire an expensive temp to fill in for you during what would have been your notice period.
Here are some of the good reasons to state for leaving employment: Career change. Looking for career growth. Organizational restructuring. Better opportunity. Health reasons. Breaking the law. Terrible boss.
