Voluntary termination Voluntary termination You may resign from your job for any reason, at any time, unless you ve signed an employment contract or promised to remain on staff for a certain length of time.
Some people quit their jobs to pursue more challenging or higher paying opportunities.
Other people resign for personal reasons, such as conflicts with supervisors or unpleasant working conditions. Whatever your reasons for leaving your job, it s recommended that you give your supervisor at least two weeks written notice. Although you may not be required to do so, especially if your company has at-will employment status, giving advance notice is a gesture of professional courtesy. It allows your supervisor time to find someone to replace you, and it may bolster your chances of being reinstated if need be in the future. If you have consented to a written or verbal employment contract, breaking that agreement may leave you open to a lawsuit for breach of contract.
