Should I give my employer notice that I am quitting?

Legally, you don't have to give them notice. But it's the right thing to do.

If the new job offer says you have to start right away, I'd go ahead and take it and explain to the other company why you can't give notice to them, and maybe offer to come in evenings or weekends to help get them through the transition.

Yeah, its always good to give a 2 weeks notice, that way in the Future you can use them as a reference.

Yeah I'll be quitting my job because they cut my hours too!

I work at KB Toys

You don't *need* to, per se, but it's a good idea. Giving notice is generally something that employers will look at in the future. To them, it means that you're thinking about your employer as well as yourself. Also, you won't be burning bridges with this company in case you need to go back later.

Yes you should give notice so you will have them as a good reference in the future. Good luck with your new job!

Do you *need* to? Well, not any more than you *need* to do most other things that are polite and that follow generally accepted rules of good business practice.

Give them at least two weeks notice. It's the right thing to do.

Yes -- otherwise it can come back to haunt you if you ever use them as a reference again. And you don't want to have to explain a 4+ year gap in employment!

yes if you want a reference for you new job then i would give them 2 weeks notice.

Isn't there anything in your contract about how much notice you need to give? It's usually mentioned somewhere.

yea u will leave good reference

nice one and good luck to you. i only give notice if it affects any monies owed. x
