Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Re: Resignation Question

You do not indicate whether you have a written employment agreement, are a union member covered by a collective bargaining agreement, or other facts which might be relevant.

If you are not covered by an employment agreement or contract of some kind, then you would be considered an "at will" employee.

An "at will" relationship means either the employee, or the employer, can terminate the relationship "at will."

While two weeks' notice (and often more) is customary, unless there is some agreement requiring your employer to give you two weeks' notice, or some applicable stautory law or regulation requiring notice, then your employer does not have to give you two weeks' notice.

I suggest you retain an attorney if you feel you need legal advice about your particular situation, as your attorney would need to ask you specific questions to get more information in order to guide you.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss retaining my services.
