Unless employed under a contract, most people work under the terms of at-will employment, meaning that neither the employer or the employee has a legal obligation to give notice before terminating employment.
If you quit without notice, your employer could sue you for any damages caused by your breach of contract, eg if they had to hire an expensive temp to fill in for you during what would have been your notice period.
Consequences of Immediate Resignation Without Just Cause If an employee resigns without providing the 30-day notice and does not have any of the valid reasons specified by law, the employer may be entitled to claim damages. The damages could cover any losses incurred by the employer due to the abrupt resignation.
While immediate resignation is possible, it's generally advisable to provide notice if possible to ensure a smooth transition and maintain a positive relationship with your employer.
I am writing to inform you of my resignation from my position at (Company Name), effective immediately. Due to personal reasons, I am unable to continue working and will not be returning to the office.
Dear Manager's Name, I regret to inform you that I am resigning from my position as Job Role at Company Name, effective immediately. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to continue in my current role. I apologise for the abrupt nature of my departure and any inconvenience it may cause.
The following are the things to keep in mind when writing an immediate resignation letter: Write the date first. Explain only necessities. Remain professional. Include questions. Be grateful. Add contact information. Proofread your letter. Make copies and hand-deliver the letters.
It's common courtesy to give your employer at least two weeks' notice of your resignation, but sometimes that's not an option. There are many circumstances that may warrant an immediate resignation. Perhaps you're dealing with a hostile or unsafe work environment that's jeopardizing your mental or physical health.
It's perfectly legal to quit without notice in the USA. You would likely be coded as ineligible for rehire in the old employer's HR system. You also are unlikely to get a good reference (but smart employers don't permit references good or bad). Of course, with any voluntary quit, you can't get unemployment insurance.
