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.
I am writing to inform you of my resignation from my position at (Company Name), effective immediately. Due to personal reasons, I am unable to continue working and will not be returning to the office.
Different companies have different policies about laying people off; or firing them. In most parts of the United States, there is no notice required by law; as most companies are ``at will'' employment situations. ``At will'' means the employee can leave anytime they want; and employers can fire you any time they want.
Notice Requirements: Although Pennsylvania does not require notice of termination for at-will employees, some employment contracts or termination due to plant closures and mass layoffs may require notice periods. Compliance with these requirements is necessary to avoid potential legal issues.
Q: Do you have to give two weeks notice before quitting? A: No. The employment-at-will rule works both ways. Your boss can fire you for any reason without notice, and you can quit for any reason without notice.
I understand that my notice period is (Notice period) weeks, but I have been asked to join my new Employer (Date requested to start). Therefore, I respectfully request that you waive this notice period and relieve me of my duties immediately.
What is At-Will Employment in Pennsylvania? At-will employment allows both employers and employees to end their working relationship at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all. This means an employee can quit without giving notice, and an employer can terminate employment without providing a reason.
The following are the things to keep in mind when writing an immediate resignation letter: Write the date first. Explain only necessities. Remain professional. Include questions. Be grateful. Add contact information. Proofread your letter. Make copies and hand-deliver the letters.
It's common courtesy to give your employer at least two weeks' notice of your resignation, but sometimes that's not an option. There are many circumstances that may warrant an immediate resignation. Perhaps you're dealing with a hostile or unsafe work environment that's jeopardizing your mental or physical health.
