30 day notice????HELP

I would just tell them you are giving them 3 weeks notice and you cannot change it. What can they do, fire you?

My last job I only gave 2 weeks notice.

Never heard of the 4 weeks thing. Is it a policy they have in writing? Heck...you told them long time ago to look for a replacement and they didn't....so typical of LTC.

It's a free country. Bid them farewell in three weeks and don't look back.

If they normally pay leftover PTO they can withold that, but you have to consider the cost of getting a position you want vs. staying there and risk loosing that position.

I've only ever heard of two week notice. Not even three week. Of course, I would try to give as much notice as I possibly could.

In my experience I have encountered the following rules in business conduct.

2 weeks notice for hourly paid employees

4 weeks notice for salaried employees

That being said...they have abused you since October. Call out sick for those last few shifts, that is the method I see used most often these days.

Good Luck!

Isn't there a new law something like "work at will" meaning by law, you are not required to give any notice at all nor is your employer required to retain you as an employee. Of course, the standard 2 weeks as a courtesy is the right thing to do....and definately necessary if you want to use the employer as a reference. One last thing. Be extra cautious while working out your notice. If your current employer feels "slighted" you would not want any trouble.

Best of luck with your new job.

Does your hospital have written policy on this?

Ours told us in orientation, that for those folks making more than $11 an hour (such as us nurses), the notice is 30 days for leaving or transfer. YOu can go earlier than that, but I dont think you get your leftover pto, then.

at my first job, i was required to give 4 weeks notice as an RN. this was after i'd submitted my two weeks notice.

i think this is used sometimes as a way to 'punish' you for leaving.

i wouldn't reccommend calling out sick. i always hated when people did that, little to no respect for that at all. why not just take a leave or use vacation days instead?.

yes that law varies from state to state. however, i know louisiana is an "at will" state.

Thanks everyone for your responses ;NOPE no policy (at least in the book i was reading in) it may be an "understanding" kind of policy but that to me is nothing...giving them 3 wks and 1 day so i am 6 days away from the 4 week notice which i feel like telling them ISN"T THIS ENOUGH? I guess they say in management it is customary to give 4 weeks- i dont want to burn any bridges but geez enough is enough

Well, you gave them your letter in October, and they told you to wait until they found a replacement. Haven't you, in essence, given them a SIX MONTH notice???? Call me crazy...

I am with you JKC mom. How much more notice could they possibly want?!?!

Hey- wishes of well in your new position!
