How long of a notice should I leave for a grocery store?

Question

Inventory is in two weeks and i really dont want to take part in it.

Inventory is in two weeks and i really dont want to work it and I am being offered another position that pays a lot more.

I have been offered a full time job that pays almost twice as much and i am currently working part time at a grocery store. I havnt had two days off in a row in 5 months.

Answer 1

Well thats not a good reason to quit.

But you should always give an employer 2 weeks notice if you are planning on qutting.

Answer 2

If that is the only reason for leaving, it's a pretty lame one. But that is just my opinion and not your question.

Two weeks notice is standard practice. Some companies will not allow you to stay, since you may be considered a risk for theft, screwing up records, or just plain not caring to work like they expect you to. By giving them notice, you can leave on good terms, helping your chances for being rehired if you decide to go back later, or at least having them tell other perspective employers that you are rehirable. In most states, no notice is required, but is a courtesy.

Answer 3

As a rule of thumb, most businesses request at least a two week's notice, however, most employers, when they hire someone, will have something in your hiring paperwork that states that you are an "at-will" employee and that while a two week notice is requested, it is not required.

Where I work (I assist with HR and payroll as well as my job in accounts payable), we make everyone sign a letter stating they know they are hired on the "at-will" basis.

Answer 4

I've never been a fan of leaving any notice when leaving a job. You have no obligation to your employer to leave notice, as you are an at-will employee.

They wouldn't give you notice if they were going to fire you, so why should it work the other way around.

No need to worry about a reference either, as they can legally only verify your dates of employment and final pay level to any inquiring parties.

Answer 5

Well you must a least give a two week notice at most places. But most people give the amount of notice depending on how they get paid. For example if you get paid every two weeks give a two week notice, if you get paid every week give a weeks notice.

Answer 6

You should always give 2 weeks notice, it is the responsible thing to do

Answer 7

2 weeks is industry standard.

Answer 8
