DO I have to give a Two Week Notice?
Answers:
You don't HAVE to give two weeks notice, but it is more or less a courtesy to give that.
Some companies won't rehire you if you didn't give two weeks. In the notice, tell them that you'd normally give two weeks, but the new job requires an earlier start. They'd understand, otherwise you're boss is a douche.
If all else fails, just quit. They can't force you to stay.
A two week notice is only a courtesy.
Tell them to kiss your butt! And tell them what they can do with their mandatory two weeks. They are trying to intimidate you. Don't fall for it. Good luck with the new job!
They would never take you to court. It would cost them too much money to do so.
No, you have the right to quit. If they won't let you take the one week notice then quit.
you absolutly have to or they can take you to court and sue you for days you didn't work because you didn't give two weeks notice.
It's mandatory only if you signed a contract agreeing that you would give them 2 weeks notice. Other than that, you don't have to. Sounds like the boss is either pressuring you to stay or just jerking you around. Show him how smart you are. Ask to see where it is written that a 2 week notice is mandatory. That ought to shut him up. Good luck in the new job.
Did you sign a "Employee at will" form?? I dont know if all states are the same but here in Texas we sign an "employee at will" form which basically says that you have a right to leave without notice and the employer is allowed to fire or lay you off without notice. So if you did then you dont have to give a 2 weeks notice. I think it's ok that you gave a weeks notice. It's better than just quitting. It's more reputable and respectful to give a notice but if you don't then they can't MAKE you go to work. If you already have a job I wouldn't worry about him giving you a good recommendation.
!You could just leave or you could give them a two weeks notice and call off for that last week. What can they do to you? you gave them what you wanted. just know you will probably not be recommended for rehire and probable can't use them as a reference. Good Luck on what you decide!
you can quit without andy notice if you want to.
Hey, i would say it is always best to give a two weeks notice. That way you wont run into any problems in the future, many places will ask you for references from your previous employment. If you list your bosses and leave on a bad note with them they may give you a bad reference or no reference at all. As much as it pains myself to say you must do what makes the bosses happy lol... GOod Luck ,

Two weeks a courtesy and is not required by law unless you signed a contract as part of your employment (I doubt you did for a food service job). I would recommend that you at least talk to your current employer and see if they would be willing to work something out with you. Often times the terms that you leave your job in will stick in the employers mind more than any other. So you ever need a reference from this employer give them the two weeks unless you can work something out with them.
Unless is was somewhere in a contract you signed or you have some weird local laws (which is possible...but you could check on that), two weeks is a rule of thumb, not an requirement. It is a professional courtesy to give the employer time to advertise, interview, hire, and possibly train your replacement. That often doesn't happen in two weeks anyway.
Unless the employer can show you something in writing about this being "mandatory" (and then I would find out the consequences), the only thing he can do is give you a bad recommendation. Sounds like he might be doing this anyway.
jst leave w/o teling anybody/. thatd b histerical to seee your ex bosses face.. haha im mean
There's no law that you have to give two weeks notice, so unless you have a contract saying so, it's not manditory. It's pretty common practice though, to give two weeks notice at least if you want to leave on good terms.
That is true it is not 100% mandatory that you need to give the two week notice.
If you want a good reference then you should at least give two weeks. Hopefully you didn't sign anything stating that you had to give two weeks notice, otherwise you will pretty much be screwed. But, if you think you're going to like the other job more then just quit.
Its come down to Money, How much do thay owe u . Walk and keep yr head high.
you don't HAVE to do anything but eat, sleep, pee, and die. it's a free couintry. but you SHOULD consider whether you are burning a bridge. the worst that can happen is that you won't be able to use the place as a reference. is that worth anything? do you think you could could trust them to give you a good reference anyway? you already have a job in the bag, so what difference does it make? besides, you're quitting. what are they going to do, fire you?
