Two Weeks' Notice Letter in New York
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 New York law says
| Final paycheck if you quit | Same rule: by the regular payday for the pay period worked. |
|---|---|
| Unused vacation / PTO payout | Depends on the employer's policy. If the employee earned vacation time and there is no written policy saying it is forfeited, the employer must pay accrued vacation at separation. Employers must notify employees in writing or by posting of their vacation and leave policies. |
