Ok, it turns out that I'll be starting a new job on July 9 in another state. I've had the week of July 2-6 as a scheduled vacation for some time now (before this new opportunity presented itself). When I turn in my notice tomorrow, do I make it for 2 weeks (making my last effective day June 29) or do I make it 3 weeks (ending after my vacation)? I've accrued enough vacation to handle that week so I'm getting paid for that week regardless...just wondering on the wording.
2-weeks notice question
- Thread starter Feldenak
- Start date
The idea of the 2 weeks notice is it's a goodwill gesture that allows them two weeks to find a replacement. Therefore, I think you should make your last day the last day of your planned vacation.
Can't you ask your boss? Doesn't seem like it'd be important, either way, as long as the understanding exists that you deserve your PTO money.
Considering the nature of my position and the information I have access to, I'm half expecting to be told to go home when I give my notice...which may suck hardcore because I need that income.
When I recently gave notice (in Georgia), that day was made my last day. I was informed I would be paid out my two weeks notice even though I was not working it due to some state law. They also made the decision to pay me my 2 weeks accrued vacation on top of that.
I had some circumstances that required me to speak with my HR representative about it before I actually gave notice. As long as you are certain you are leaving, I'd discuss it with the HR representative to find out what the precedent and policies are for this situation.
Well, I turned in my notice and so far it's been relatively painless. I'm actually kind of surprised I'm still at work considering I'm an out-going employee with unfettered access to any & all company systems.
Congrats on the job (and for getting out of Alabama 
)!
At my company it always depended on where you were going. Some people were leaving for our competition and thought they would still be allowed access for their last 2 weeks. If you just have another opportunity then I see no reason they shouldn't use you until you're gone.

Since you are quitting and aren't fired, they probably aren't as worried about it. If you were fired, they would probably boot you immediately so you don't enact revenge of any sort.
The vacation time I've acrued isn't what I was worried about. I was concerned with getting the boot when I turned my notice in and not getting paid having any income besides the vacation time I've earned.
If they tell you to leave when you put in notice they will usually pay for those 2 weeks. if not file for unemployment. You will get your pay and their insurance rates will go up. Hence the reason they pay the 2 weeks as it is cheaper.
Someone at my last place put in a 3 month notice. yes that is MONTH. Needless to say they told her to hit the road and they did not pay her anything. Unemployment is less then what 3 months of pay is to them.

Actually...in most at-will state's, if the employee gives notice there is nothing keeping the employer from keeping him/her on board. If they tell you to leave at the time of notice then they tell you to leave, pay you your last paycheck and any other benefits you may have, and be done with it.
word. my friend was a well respected and a highly valuable asset to his large company. he explored other career options and gave them a 1+ month notice.
they turned around and terminated his position early. that means thousands in pay, missing out on stock purchase plan period, etc etc etc. lots of money involved.

guess this means we won't be having a beer together if I make it to Auburn in September, but :beer:
That's really cold stuff on some of these posts.
My personal experience is if you had a vacation already scheduled they already have someone to cover for ya.

When would the latter ever happen? Think about it. If you exhaust your vacation hours then you simply are on leave without pay...that'd be a pretty major gaffe if payroll continued paying out vacation to someone who didn't have the hours.
I took more holiday time than was appropriate for that time in the year. They took about 6 hours of time back. It would have all worked out had I stayed until the end of the fiscal year. I thought vacation pay was an optional thing. I didn't realize they were obligated to pay it out.

I have 160 PTO hours every year. I can use them at any time during the year, but I only accrue them at a rate of 6.14 hours per pay period. I can take a 3 week vacation in June (thus getting a negative PTO balance) because the company has a reasonable expectation that I will work for the rest of the year to cover my balance.
In addition to that I have a legal responsibility to cover the negative balance if I quit, just as the company has a legal responsibility to cover any positive balance.
Lets see... Write a batch file to delete a good bit of information from a server. Schedule that batch file to execute around 11pm tomorrow night. If you do not get sent home tomorrow, then cancel the scheduled job, if not... let it run...it won't be your problem anymore
Hmm...INTERESTING...that's not how it works @ my work...nor is that how it works at any of the places that I've worked at...that's pretty darn cool though!
