Many companies have a written notice policy in their handbook. It's usually 2 weeks, but could be more. If you don't give two weeks notice, you may lose any vacation pay out or planned bonus that you would otherwise receive. You've guaranteed yourself a bad reference from this boss.
This would be a breach of contract and the employer has the right to sue for damages in a civil court (i.e. for the cost of supplying cover to do your work or for the value of lost business), or to withhold payment for the period of notice you were expected to work.
One of the most apparent signs you should quit your job immediately is if you have another, hopefully better position lined up. Before you quit your current job though, make sure you have an offer letter from your new employer. And prepare what you'll say to your current boss so you don't burn any bridges.
Try to serve your notice period if you can, as a relieving letter will make it easier for you to secure your next job. However, if the above-mentioned reasons are at play at your current workplace, it may be okay, or even preferable, for you to leave without serving notice.
Call employer promptly. Time is of the essence, so communicate as soon as it becomes clear that a departure is imminent. State reasons for sudden leave. Try to give 2-weeks notice. Submit your Immediate Resignation Letter.
If you are resigning with immediate effect in protest at how you have been treated, a verbal resignation is enough, but it is better to put it in writing. Most employment contracts will require you to resign in writing so, your notice period will not start to run until you give your employer written notice.
When you resign from a position, the standard practice is to give two weeks' notice to your employer.However, while you should make every effort to notify your supervisor of your resignation as soon as possible, sometimes circumstances require that you leave immediately.
