FAQ
A 2 weeks' notice refers to two working weeks — AKA, 10 business days. Although 2 weeks is usually 14 days, business days don't include the weekends. Even though giving a 2 weeks' notice implies that you'll be leaving after 10 days, you can include the date of your actual last day so there's no room for confusion.
Schedule a meeting with your manager. This allows you to have a private conversation to discuss your resignation. Be direct but appreciative. State that you are resigning and provide your last day of work, which should be two weeks from the current date. Offer to help transition your work.
What should be included in a two-week notice letter? A two-week notice letter should include your contact information, the date of the notice, a clear resignation statement, your last working day, an offer of assistance during the transition, and an expression of gratitude.
Two weeks' notice is most often given in-person first, followed by a resignation letter to make it official. While it may be tempting to just send an email or Slack message in lieu of a face-to-face meeting, the latter is considered a sign of mutual respect, which you'll need if you hope to leave on good terms.
The short answer is that an at-will employee is not required to provide two weeks' notice before quitting. Even when there's an offer letter or employee manual that requests an employee to give two weeks' notice before leaving, this doesn't change the at-will status of the employee.
How to write a 2 weeks' notice letter. Date and recipient's address. List the date, the recipient's name, and the company address, whether you're handing them the letter via email or in person. Greeting. Resignation notice. Reason for resigning. Expression of gratitude. Offer of support. Signature.
In most cases, it's appropriate to use both methods. For example, you could schedule a private conversation with your manager, hand them a printed letter, and follow up with a two weeks' notice email.
Just keep it short and sweet, this is your resignation and ___ will be your last day. Date it, sign it, and be done. If they want to know, they will ask and you can say something then, if you want.
Keep your letter short and to the point, including only the most relevant information: Date and recipient's address. Greeting. Resignation notice. Your last workday. Reason for resigning (optional) Expression of gratitude. Offer of support with the transition. Signature.
Do include details like whether you intend to give two weeks' notice if you're willing to stick around to train your replacement or whether you'll be leaving effective immediately. Don't go into why you hate your job, how you're so happy you're leaving, and how you hope they have a terrible fiscal year without you.
