Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Separation notice as
On March 06, 2006, as a professional RN, I gave a 'Courtesy' letter to my immediate supervisor (DON) and Administrator to inform both of my decision to seek employment elsewhere. I also included that upon securing employment I would give a 30-day notice. Verbally, I agreed to give enough time to get someone into my position as MDS Coordinator. I also understood that I would continue to work 'as usual' while I looked for other employment.
On March 20, 2006 I received a Separation Notice that I had resigned. The Administrator & Assistant Administrator came into my office to ''talk to me''. Verbally I was informed that because I was not 'trusted', I was being escorted out of the facility to prevent harm to the MDS process.
Since employed, I have improved reimbursement tremendously and would not jeopardize the hard work I have given to the MDS Team, residents and facility. I am very proud of my accomplishments, knowledge, skills and ability to be a leader and team player.
The MDS Team members are also shocked by the incident and are now left without an experienced MDS RN to guide them through the assessment process and have e-mailed me their concerns about their concerns.
Thank you.

Re: Separation notice as
Is there a question? It appears as though you effectively quit your job (whether it is by saying "I quit" or "I am going to quit later"). Generally, when you quit, you quit that day. Any "notice" period that you work after that is simply a courtesy that may be agreed upon by BOTH sides. There are numerous reasons that an employer does not want an employee to work beyond the day they quit. As for how that affects the former employer or other employees, that is their concern and not yours. Again, not sure what you are asking.
