Two Weeks' Notice Letter in Louisiana
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 Louisiana law says
| Final paycheck if you quit | Wages due must be paid by the next regular payday for the pay cycle the employee was working in, or within 15 days of the resignation, whichever comes first. Source: La. R.S. 23:631(A)(1)(b) |
|---|---|
| Unused vacation / PTO payout | Yes, if under the employer's vacation policy the employee was eligible for and had accrued paid vacation that was not taken or paid out. Earned vacation pay cannot be forfeited. Source: La. R.S. 23:631(D) |
