Are you still employed, if so if you decided to leave can your employer bring legal action against you.

After two weeks, walk off of the job, and go to the labor board and explain that you gave a two weeks notice that wasn't accepted and that you had reasons to give it.

If you give your employer a letter of resignation, and they refuse to accept it, I would say that you are still employed; ant the only way that I know of, that they could bring legal action against you, is if you are working on a contract basis, and you leave before the date in which the contract ends. But it this be the case, there should be a written contract between you and your employer. Make sure you have kept up your part of the contract, if this should be the case. But also, consider why your employer refuses to accept your resignation. Is it just because they cannot get someone else to replace you, or what? Sometimes employers will tell us that they refuse to accept our resignation, just because they like the way in which we do our job. If this be the case, then they ought to be willing to give you a raise in pay, if you are that important to their business. I do not know what your reasons are for wanting to leave your job, but if you are just giving your resignation, and no work contract is envolved, and you are determinded to leave, then there is nothing that I know of that they can do to you legally. Just be sure that you are making the right decision, for good jobs are hard to find in these days.

As far as I understand, unless you are breaking a contract for completeing a term of service, your employer can not MAKE you stay with a job you do not want. If you are attempting to break a written, legal contract- check with your lawyer, local legal aid, Nolo Press, any place that deals with workers rights, or if you are in a large corporation, your in house legal department.
Generaly if your boss refuses a letter of resignation, the next thing your boss is supposed to do is offer you a big raise, a move up, and a big a** kissing.
If your boss is pressuring you to stay at a job you do not want, threatening you in any way (threatening to reporting you to INS, threatening to write you a bad refrence, other bs) that can be considered harrassment.
Call your local employee rights people!
I believe once you resign, you are 'done'. It's a fancy word for politely quitting.

It really depends on if you h ave a contractual agreement with the employer. If you are contracted to work for them for a certain period of time, then you are required to work for them until the contract is up, unless you can prove extenuating circumstances that forced you to submit your resignation. You don't even have to continue employment with them, but be prepared for a lawsuit.
If there is no contract, then there is no way he/she can force you to work for the company.

check your contract of employment - there are usually clauses on "termination" (e.g. it is usual for employees to give a certain notice period), but it really depends what your contract says.
if in doubt, get a friendly lawyer to take a look.

If he doesn't accept you letter of resignation, then it'll be tough luck on him. You don't have to stay anywhere you don't want to. If it's your choice to leave, then leave and excel in your endeavors....

As long as you have followed proper leaving procedure there is nothing they can do. You offered the letter, you can't make them take it. Give your two weeks notice and everything and there's nothing they can do.

It all depends on the kind of contract you signed with them.If there is no agreement restraining you from disengaging,i think there will be no legal restraint .

As long as you left it in your employer's hands,it's up to them to accept it or not.
