Just as an employer is required to provide reasonable notice when terminating an employee, there is a corresponding duty on an employee who wishes to terminate the employment contract by quitting. Often, employers are not anxious to continue the employment of individuals who have tendered their resignations. As such, an employer may either waive the reasonable notice requirement or require only a minimum amount of notice. An employee who voluntarily quits or resigns from their job is not legally entitled to severance pay or pay in place of notice, and they cannot sue for wrongful dismissal. In some cases, an employee who resigns in response to an intolerable or hostile work environment or a particularly onerous change to their employment may have a valid claim for constructive dismissal.
