Can I quit my job? You have the right to end your employment with an employer at any time. These rights, however, come with responsibilities. In most situations, you are required to give your employer notice that you are leaving their employment. The length of notice you are required to give depends on how long you have worked, and the notice must be in writing. You do not have to give notice that you are ending your employment during your first three months of employment. For employment of more than three months, but less than two years, required notice is one week. Your employer must pay all your earnings
