I won against the manager. After talking to HR, director and manager they said due to the timing of my notice and the timing of the policy and it not being distributed they will honor my notice and PTO. I told them I had printed off the email from corporate HR and all related policies showing that nowhere is there stated the 4 weeks. The point of it being in the covid policy makes it hidden, which I told them is shady. I just get put on the ineligible to be rehired for 90 days due to quitting during Covid.

I wish Georgia would get with the times like many states and give employees more protection. I come from a union family and these things would never fly.

I printed out all the copies of the policies I found and email that I received from the main corporate HR that states there is no policy in effect that states 4 weeks notice. I also took pictures of the HR folder for policies. This hospital system was just recently fined for medicare fraud and taking kickbacks.

The hospital is using coronavirus pandemic as a way of forcing people to give 4 weeks notice or its considered job abandonment and you lose your PTO payout. How can this be job abandonment when I give a typical 2 weeks notice and fulfill the shifts I am scheduled for those last two weeks? This supposedly went into effect this week but HR said it hasn't been widely distributed to everyone. I checked the policies and nothing from HR about minimum notice time. HR told me it is under the Covid policies. Hiding HR policies in something else is shady. I printed off the policies of PTO payout and what policies were in the HR folders, showing that there was no such policy readily available. The hospital has been having a high turnover especially on the two floors that my manager runs because of low morale and manipulative behavior from her.

I am in the same boat. I turned in my 2 weeks notice today. My manager is very toxic, one of the reasons why I am leaving. My new job wants me to start Sept 1st. My manager called me saying that leaving with less than 4 weeks of notice during pandemic is called job abandonment. I would be ineligible for rehire and possibly lose my 100 hours of PTO I have built up. The manager told me they just received a memo the afternoon before that made the 4 weeks mandatory but nothing has been sent out to rest of the staff. I called HR and they have not heard of that policy and that 2 weeks is the minimum. My manager is giving me until Friday to change the date. I am in Georgia which sucks for the employees because they care about corporations more. If they refuse to pay my PTO I am looking to get a lawyer.
