Two Weeks' Notice Letter in North Dakota

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 North Dakota law says

Final paycheck if you quit	Final wages are due on the next regular payday for the period worked. Source: N.D.C.C. § 34-14-03
Unused vacation / PTO payout	Yes, in most cases. Once paid time off is available to use, unused PTO counts as wages and must be paid at separation. Two exceptions: (1) if the employee quits, the employer may withhold it when the employer gave written notice of this limit at hire, the employee worked there less than one year, and the employee gave less than five days' notice; (2) PTO that was awarded but not yet earned may be withheld if the employer gave written notice in advance. 'Use it or lose it' policies are allowed with notice and a fair chance to use the time. Source: N.D.C.C. § 34-14-09.2; N.D. Admin. Code § 46-02-07-02(12)
