FAQ
Should I give a reason in writing?
Usually no. Brief and professional is best. Save details for the conversation. Hostile situation: consult an employment attorney before writing anything - certain language can affect legal claims.
How much detail in the transition plan?
Enough to show you care. List 3-5 active projects and their current state. Offer to document handoff. Don't over-promise.
Do I have to give 2 weeks notice?
In the US (except Montana), no - employment is at-will. 2 weeks is a cultural norm to maintain your reference. See the Notice Period Calculator.
What if my employer asks me to leave immediately?
Some companies escort departures (especially in sales). Don't take it personally. Make sure final pay (including PTO) is documented per state law.
