No. I would not risk this; take your vacation and then resign. You otherwise risk losing paid leave owed to you.There's no legal requirement to give 2 weeks notice. There's also the option to turn your "2 weeks notice" into a "3 weeks notice": state your intention to leave 2 weeks before your PTO starts. There is no specific law that governs 2 week notices. It would be contained in your employee handbook. While it's generally seen as a courtesy to provide a twoweek notice, it's not a legal requirement unless specified in an employment contract or company policy. State the Date: The most important thing you need to say in your letter is when you will be leaving the company. I am submitting my two weeks' notice of resignation. But there's no law that says a bank has to keep or pay you just because you gave two weeks notice.
