How many weeks do you need to give your employer anyways? Some people say 1 month, some people say 2 weeks is enough. Anybody know if there's a real law about resignation?

作者: yuusaku 時間: 2008-1-1 19:45

for mine, it is specified in my employment contract.

作者: notgoddy 時間: 2008-1-1 19:52

I think two week is what is stated in the governing legislation (the employment act?).

BC 勞工法例其實冇要求僱員發出提前通知予僱主,
所以要俾幾耐通知純粹睇同公司份合約0既條款點寫.

Think about how much notice you should give. On average, people give 2-4 weeks depending on their level of responsibility.

It's not enforced and you just have to give reasonable time. It's better to leave until your manager can find someone to replace you.

Another question, once you send in the written resignation letter, can the employer fire you on the spot? I mean, if my boss decide to make an excuse to let me go after I gave him the letter, what can I do? Can the employer force you to take all the outstanding vacation hours that you've collected so they don't have to pay for the vacation time they owe you? Can I say no to take those vacation on demand and make them give me cash instead?

If he fires you without a reason (obviously handling a resigning letter is not a reason) you and sue him. And if he's laiding you off that point, he still has to pay you reimbursement. But if you give him 2 weeks notice and he asks you to leave right away and give you 2 week pay, that's a different story.

Usually there's no "resign law" thingy for workers, but giving 2 weeks is good so that your old company can get some new hires, finish your paper work (e.g. RRSP you paid, insurance stuff) and give you an exit interview (for future reference and employment)

It all depends on your contract. A lot of companies will pay your oustanding holiday in a lum sum. Some people choose to take the holiday right before leaving the company. Contact HR department if you don't have your contract!

Usually it's 2 weeks, especially for large companies. Small companies might need more time to find replacement and you might want to give them more advance notice, though there shouldn't be anything stopping you from leaving in 2 weeks if you really have to. It's just better to let them replace you so it'll work out for them as well.

Of course, check with your employer/contract to be sure. As well, vacation times are also usually paid in your last pay cheque as vacation pay.

In my company people also give 2 week notice.
But could leave a day or 2 before if they have some vacation day left.

According to the employment standards act of BC, there is no requirement to give notice to employers. If you are working in the federal industry(telecommunications, airlines, banking) then the labor code of Canada is what you follow and I don't think there is a requirement for those either.

Like other people said, give REASONABLE time. Reasonable based on what your position is. If its a McD position, 30 minute notice is sufficient. If its a manager position @ some big company, probably 2-3 months. It's just a good gesture so that they won't start saying bad stuff about you when you need them for reference.

my company's contract states 2 weeks....but if you're going to work for a competitor, then they will pay u the 2 weeks pay and want u to leave immediately....

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-1-4 09:17

I think the employer can fire you on spot if you give him the letter. Since you give him the letter, you already determine to leave the company already and if the employer does not care if anyone can fill your shoes in the company, he can let you go right away.

In the end, it all depends on your contract.

作者: asmok 時間: 2008-1-5 14:57

For most position, 2 weeks is usually the standard. For my position, I think 30 mins is more then enough... haha I doubt they want me to work around after I decide to quit.

作者: yungfourfour 時間: 2008-1-5 17:49

I have another question regarding to resignation....

What kind of reason would you use?

Will you say the truth

Will you lie?

How possible can your lie go technically?

作者: SmellyTofu 時間: 2008-1-5 19:34

Never burn your bridges unless you are 200% certain they will not influence any future employment roles. (basically, don't dish dirt on them unless you've won lotto and will never work again).

Just say you are going onto new challenges. If you were a boss, you would not expect the people under you to do what they do forever. People have their own goals and/or situations change.

作者: yayaya 時間: 2008-1-5 19:38

2 weeks is for lower level job, 3weeks-4weeks will be better if you are working in a big company

作者: yungfourfour 時間: 2008-1-5 20:54

e.g. say you got another job offer, is that possible to quit with a reason.....say one of your family member got issues(e.g. depression) and need intensive care so you have to go on leave/ take care of him/her full time?

I mean, by privacy reason the doctor won't release your family member's situation to a company, so basically your company can't sort it out..... (my thoughts only)

It's cheap but...yeah don't burn the bridges ma right?
