Two weeks notice?

Your resignation letter will go into your employee file, if you're ever back that way and you reapply, it'll be looked at. So put it in writing, if you can give more then two weeks, then do so... but give at least two weeks notice. Thank them for the opportunities, say something positive about your manager and/or company, note something you contributed and be clear about the last day you are available to be scheduled.

I'd double check with HR that only 2 weeks is required. I've worked at places that required 3 or even 4 weeks of notice.

ALWAYS distribute a resignation letter to more than one person / dept. Always.

Your immediate supervisor, and HR are two of these

I speak from experience, of mine and nurses I know.

Be very clear on what will be your last day worked.

I always interpreted it as a calendar two weeks... my last jobs were prn so two weeks of shifts would ne difficult to define. Agree with including other people in the email... recently had some trouble getting my manager to acknowledge the letter.

Thank you all for the tips!

Make sure you connect with HR for any benefits owed you, like PTO. I don't know that you'll need COBRA health insurance. Sometimes things can be easily 'overlooked' or 'accidently missed'. A good HR dept will usually be straight up but you do need to watch out for yourself.

Usually 14 calendar days after date of notice. Your employee handbook should spell it out. When I've given notice in the past I've referenced the page number of the handbook. Good to copy HR. It's COA.

Hello! I recently expressed to my manager that it is very likely that I will be leaving my current job. The conversation did not go well, and I was very emotional because I do love my job very much. My husband is military and recently got relocated a few hours away in a different state and I have been driving back and forth for the past few months. My manager did not take it well and was giving me "ways" I could make it work. I have decided if this is the path I want to take I need to be very matter of fact about it. I do not want to bring up this conversation again with her until I put in my two weeks notice.

With that being said, my question is once I put in my two weeks notice is it exactly two weeks from that or is it two weeks of shifts (72 hrs or 6 shifts)?

Also, do I email her and my HR department my letter of resignation? Thank you

Like others have said, review your policy on the required notice to be given. Some managers may try to talk you out of leaving and some may not allow you to work out your notice. Regardless, I would email and give notice in person to both HR and manager.

Sorry for being so insensitive but you more than likely work in a right to work state. This is business 101, figure out what your last day will be and put your notice in. End of story.

I understand you have forged friendships, I to have been married to a military man and traveled all over re-starting my career, have long lasting friend ships.

Do not linger on this at all. Just show up for work and do your best.

You can send your letter to your supervisor and HR both and you can give greater than 2 weeks notice. Just be aware they can let you go at anytime. I once placed my notice in 30 days in advance and they let me leave immediately and paid for my 30 days, I went to a competitor.

I'm curious- what "ways" did your manager suggest to make it work?
