Resignation Letter in Pennsylvania
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 Pennsylvania law says
| Final paycheck if you quit | Due no later than the next regular payday, the same as when the employer ends the job. Certified mail on request. |
|---|---|
| Unused vacation / PTO payout | Not required by law. Paid sick leave, holiday pay and other pay for hours not worked are generally protected only when the employer expressly promised them in official documents, such as an employee handbook or memo; then the employer must follow that promise. |
