Is giving two weeks (or more) notice to an employer a contract between you and that employer?

I forgot to write if you leave early is it a breach of contract? and if so what does the person get who is leaving early get out of the contract? Do two people that enter a contract both have to receive anything?

No, it is not a 'contract', not even a verbal one. "Giving notice' if you are going to quit your job is merely a courtesy, and not even a requirement.

I agree that it is more of a courtesy to the employer than a requirement.
However, increasingly some employers are "waiving" the two week notice and are letting employees leave when they give the notice [often with an escort from corporate security] before they can mess things up on computer systems or "steal" client lists from the company.

It is not a contract and there is no legal penalty for not doing so or for giving a two week notice and leaving early. It is merely a tradition in the U.S. workplace.

Pretty vague question.
Generally the only way to break a contract is if there was already a breach. Or if there was set conditions that would cancel it (expiration date, notice, etc...).
