Resignation Letter in Texas
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 Texas law says
| Final paycheck if you quit | On the next regularly scheduled payday after the resignation takes effect. An employer may accept a notice of resignation immediately and does not have to pay for the notice period. |
|---|---|
| Unused vacation / PTO payout | Required only if the employer's written policy or agreement provides for it. Employers set their own policies on how vacation, holiday, sick leave or severance is earned and whether unused time is paid out. |
