Can the employee leave earlier if they complete the turnover before the 30 day period?

Summary

If the employee resigns and they've completed the turnover, are they required to stay?

How can they leave even if the 30 day turnover isn't done yet?

A lot of resigning (or about to resign employees) have this on their mind just like our reader, Kira, who asks:

"Atty, I have recently resigned from my job due to family matters and conflicts. I gave the resignation letter to our manager on the same date. I also endorsed and turned over all the files to my co-workers. I asked my boss if I can just render a 1 day turnover, to which he said no. I said that I won't come back anymore. Can I do that? Can I still get my COE and final pay?"

If you're thinking the same thing, stick around as we tackle these questions today.

This episode is brought to you our free Legal Guide to writing Resignation Letters. It's a free online workshop that gives you a template for writing legally compliant resignation letters and teaches you the reasons for each part.
