I let my employer know that I am going to be moving to a different state in the hope that they would give me permission to work remotely. In Texas we are under no obligation to accept the two week notice and it is still considered a resignation because they demonstrated intent to leave.It is an automatic resignation for an officeholder to announce his or her candidacy or to file for a public office other than the one currently held. The simplest and easiest meaning is that the employer has no written proof that the employee agreed to resign. Under the Texas Education Code, contract employees are required to resign no later than 45 days before the first day of instruction for the school year. A resignation is an employee's voluntary decision to quit a job or a duty. This is in contrast to a termination, which is the employer's decision. The 45th day before the first day of instruction is known as the penaltyfree resignation date. The State Board for Educator Certification has authority to sanction educators who abandon their contracts without good cause. Hence, in order to avoid such legal hassles the employer ask (only verbally) the employee to tender resignation.
