Notice of resignation

My wife is a nurse and I'm trying to get a job that will make us relocate. She keeps telling me that she has to have a 6 week notice or it goes on her permanent record and will be hard to find another job. I have a hard time believing this. Is she right? I'm hoping to know by mid February and move mid March. A 4 well notice would be fine. She's convinced when he boss issues the schedule for March in mid February she's required to full fill March schedule

    Does her employer have a policy on this? Is she in some sort of contract? Six weeks is not typical, but there may be more context than we know. It sounds like maybe she doesn't want to leave her workplace high and dry in the middle of a schedule.

    If a person fails to work the required notice, it doesn't go on their "permanent record." At worst, it makes them a Do Not Rehire and can be told to potential employers who call to verify her employment there.

    HR frequently have policies regarding how much notice an employee has to give before resigning. Typically, it's 2-4 weeks' notice. It's very unusual for a place to require a 6-week notice period, but it could be possible...though not likely, IMO. If there is no policy regarding the amount of notice to give, the minimum accepted standard is 2 weeks.

    So it sounds like she either a. doesn't want to leave her employer stranded in mid-schedule like the previous poster suggested, b. the place really does require 6 weeks (very long shot), or c. she really doesn't want to quit this job for whatever reason. In that case, you and she really need to sit down and talk about your family's plans to make sure you're both on the same page before making any drastic changes.

    Best of luck.
