Two Weeks' Notice Letter in Pennsylvania
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 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. |
