Since there is no New York state law two weeks notice requirement, employers do not have to guarantee employment to their workers. N.Y. Labor Law, § 195(6) requires employers to provide written notice to discharged employees, stating the effective date of termination.There is no specific law requiring notice to your employer if you choose to quit or leave your job. New York is an "at-will employment" state. You are under zero legal obligation to give your current employer any resignation notice at all, much less thirty days. Employers must give their workers a written notice of termination that includes the dates their employment and benefits end. Strictly speaking it's legal. In the UK there are minimum notice periods set in employment law but enhanced terms can be added in your contract. Employers must provide the written notice of safe and sick leave rights to employees when they begin employment or when their rights change.
