Resignation Letter in Minnesota
A simple resignation letter you can adapt for immediate resignation or a longer notice period. Your state's final-paycheck and PTO-payout rules are shown below.
What Minnesota law says
| Final paycheck if you quit | Wages are due on the first regular payday that is more than 5 days after the employee quits, and no later than 20 days after separation. |
|---|---|
| Unused vacation / PTO payout | Depends on company policy. Benefits such as vacation, sick leave and severance are due as the policy provides, and must be paid within 30 days of when they become due. |
| At-will employment and exceptions | Minnesota is an at-will state: an employee may quit for any reason and an employer may fire an employee for any reason that is not illegal, such as discrimination. On written request within 15 working days of termination, the employer must give the truthful reason in writing within 10 working days. |
