Ask your employee to write an official notice of resignation that shares why they're leaving. Make a copy of this statement. Plan the employee's departure date. If you require a two-week notice, schedule the employee's final day and check to make sure that your employee can work the next two weeks.
While you might be able to quit at any time, California's labor laws do require you to give at least 72 hours' notice if you want your final paycheck at the time you leave. Employees who do not give three days' notice or more must wait three days for their employer to deliver or mail their paycheck.

At will employment means you can quit anytime for any reason or no reason. You can give a notice or not. You can work for your notice or not.
As soon as you're notified of a resignation, contact payroll and IT to begin offboarding procedures. In addition, have the employee sign any necessary paperwork, such as a resignation letter or a noncompete or nondisclosure agreement, and notify the individual of benefits end dates and any COBRA considerations.

Understand your benefits. Consider getting a recommendation. View the situation as an opportunity. Determine if your situation warrants a claim.
