I work overnights and the person I would call works a 9-5, so I was wondering if it's appropriate to give my two weeks notice over the phone.
Thanks.

No - should ideally be done in person. Try to schedule a meeting with your supervisor and show up with a written resignation letter addressed to your supervisor, sealed in an envelope like a normal business letter. First tell the person that you're leaving and when your last day will be. If you wish, you may tell the person why you're leaving; this is not necessary but recommended. If you are leaving on great terms, you might add some personal thanks for a great experience, etc.
Your letter should be concise, but not impersonal. If you're leaving on bad terms, it should say only the essentials, but if on good terms it's nice to add the personal thanks etc. Remember that the letter will remain in your personnel file. Handling your resignation in a professional manner will ensure you get a good recommendation or reference in the future.

Like yet another poster stated, you certainly might desire to income to handle the stress. i'm no longer partial to my place of labor on the 2d. (certainly went homestead and cried my eyes out sooner or later a week in the past.) Had extremely a number of those "there is the door... all I might desire to do is walk by it" factors too. despite the fact that, without different interest lined up, i'm no longer leaving. in case you nonetheless choose for to stop, you're able to desire to jot down a letter. Giving a 2 weeks notice over the telephone is fairly unprofessional.

NO- It must be IN person-
You must put into writing as well.
Be ware that your two weeks is "NOT" really is not that anymore.
Most employers want you GONE as soon as you put in that notice for security issues. So be perpared for that one.
Its best to give them two weeks to replace you, so a written letter is a CYA (cover your A) move on your part.
Good luck.

No, although some place will take it as a verbal notice, but that won;t look good on you. Just write your 2 week notice.

Notice should be given in writing...It is a good idea to give your regrets at the same time. Never burn your bridges as you never know when you will need a reference.

No, that would be very unprofessional to do it that way. I would write them a letter of resignation stating your reasons of why you are quitting the job. They will contact you if they have any follow up questions.

Letter is better even an email rather than phone.

Just write a letter explaining why, and sign it.
