It is not mandatory to accept the resignation in writing. Your notice period is just a notice that you are quitting and are willing to work until X date.Employees who resign their employment must give adequate notice and are expected to work during the notice period. Most employers ask employees to provide at least two weeks' notice of an intent to quit. It's pretty standard to give your employer at least two weeks notice when you quit. No one can properly analyze a document without actually revi3ewing the entire thing. It was a pleasure having you as part of our company. I work in Pennsylvania and recently provided my two week resignation notice. My employer asked me to leave asap, and did. Another time be fixed in the resignation, in which case it shall become effective at the time so fixed.
