Two Weeks' Notice Letter in District of Columbia
A short, professional resignation letter giving two weeks' notice. Most jobs are at-will, so notice is a courtesy unless a contract requires it — but your state sets when your final paycheck is due (below).
What District of Columbia law says
| Final paycheck if you quit | By the next regular payday or within 7 days after quitting, whichever is earlier (for employees without a written contract longer than 30 days). Re-verified 2026-10-27. Source: D.C. Code § 32-1303(2) |
