Your notice period is just a notice that you are quitting and are willing to work until X date. It's pretty standard to give your employer at least two weeks notice when you quit.My employer asked me to leave asap, and did not pay me for the two week notice period. Do I have a right to my pay over the two week period? There's no question that you CAN walk out tomorrow without giving notice at all, let alone 120days notice. It's fine to resign in person, but follow it up in writing. I live in Pa, gave my employer a two week notice but ended up quitting before the two week came up, now they don't want to pay. Start with a two weeks notice letter. This will serve as a formal, written documentation of your intent to leave and your transition timeline. There are no federal or state laws that require an employee to provide two weeks' notice to his or her employer before quitting.
