Two Weeks' Notice Letter in Massachusetts
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 Massachusetts law says
| Final paycheck if you quit | Full wages are due on the next regular payday (or, if there is no regular payday, the following Saturday). Source: M.G.L. c. 149, §148 |
|---|---|
| Unused vacation / PTO payout | Yes. Vacation and holiday pay owed under an oral or written agreement count as wages and must be paid at separation on the same timeline as final wages. Unused earned sick time does not have to be paid out. |
