I have a thread and would like some of your responses on it if you don't mind. clicky here |

1. The good ol' days of turning in a 2 weeks notice are long gone, especially in fields related to computers, computer science, and IT. Give 'em a week. 2. Expect to be shit-canned the day you tender your resignation. See point 1. 3. Looks good, and is short and to the point. |
| I am ok if I get canned. there has been several people leave with a months notice. I wasn't that brave. I don't think they will can me but I am ready if they do. I have already verifyed that I have 15 days of vacation they have to pay me no matter what. SO I will be ok. |

I wouldn't bother to write a letter unless its a large company with a lawyer or HR person on staff. You cannot lose your earned vacation unless the company goes bankrupt, even if you are fired for cause. A lot of small companies don't believe this until they get raped in court with penalty judgements. Make sure your position on the vacation is documented (pay stub w/hours earned, letter indicating your accrual rate, etc.) Don't let them scare you into taking less than what you've earned. They are obligated to deduct your normal payroll taxes from any vacation payout. Did you sign any non-compete documents or provided training reimbursement, i.e. stupid stuff while you were there? Don't count on them giving you two weeks + vacation. I'd just say I'm resigning immediately but I can remain an employee for up to two weeks to help you during the transition. Don't burn bridges. |

In this State no. In Cali they do have to give you the check as they walk you out the door, or its an instant misdemeanor for the employer. They were trying to give the employee's the bum rush as the 'migra was storming the building. I don't know what the law is here, but last job I left they paid out vaca as an extraordinary item next pay period (2 wks) and my severance kicked in 2 weeks after that. |
