Yes, but there could be some unemployment issues that arise which I suspect is your real question. Consider the following guideance from EDD.Does the employer have a right to tell you to leave earlier than what your resignation date, as you've already stated that you will be quitting? In California, for example, final checks for involuntary terminations must be paid immediately. The following are examples of letters from a manager accepting an employee's resignation. Use these examples to help you write your own letter. If the employee resigned via text message or other electronic communication, take steps to preserve that documentation in the employee's file. A resignation acceptance letter is a formal way to acknowledge that you accept your employee's request to resign. California laws say that, in general, you are not required to give your employers two weeks notice – or any notice – prior to quitting or leaving a job. Let them know in the letter you would be happy to offer to train your replacement if they would like you to.
