Leaving or losing your job
Resignation: Quitting your job
How much notice do I have to give when I quit?
You can end your employment relationship by resigning. You can do this at any time, as long as you give the notice required by your employment agreement, or reasonable notice if the agreement doesn’t state a notice period. What’s reasonable will depend on your particular circumstances, such as how long you’ve been in the job and how senior your position is.
What if my employer forces me to quit?
If your employer puts pressure on you, whether directly or indirectly, to resign, or makes the situation at work so difficult for you that you feel you have to leave, this may amount to what’s called “constructive dismissal,” which is against the law.
