Can Arizona Employees Quit Their Jobs Without Any Warning? "Constructive discharge" occurs when an employer makes working conditions so difficult, unpleasant, or outrageous that an employee is forced to quit.Sick leave is forfeited upon separation but may be available if the employee returns to state employment within two (2) years of the separation date. In Arizona, termination laws govern the conditions under which an employee can be terminated, ensuring that dismissals are conducted fairly and legally. An employee can quit at any time for any reason even if the employer needs the employee to be at work.
