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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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....
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.
