Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Re: Resignation and notification

The letter you signed is probably binding on you as an employee, and you run the risk of breaching the contract if you provide only two weeks' notice to your employer. The contract itself may provide more information, however, which would allow you to provide the shorter notice. You should consult a lawyer at this point to review the contract and advise about the risk and consequence of being found in breach of the agreement.

Re: Resignation and notification

The contract itself may provide a direct answer to your question, so you should read it to see. In general, if you terminate the employment relationship early in violation of the contract, you will be in breach of the contract and your employer may be entitled to compensatory damages. Additionally, the fact that you are the breaching party may deny you other benefits of the contract. I can't advise you as to what these might be because I have not read the contract.
