    In some countries you must submit a letter of resignation a few weeks or months in advance, otherwise you don’t get resignation bonuses and your employer might even take you to court for lost productivity. Of course, this only applies to people who are simply quitting for personal reasons.

      I was recently visiting the Scandinavian office of my American company, and there was a going away party for one of the employees. When he was talking he said something along the lines of “when I resigned X months ago I didn’t know I’d be here this long” and I was a bit confused at first.

        1 month notice is in law in Hungary. 2 months in contracts are pretty standard at this point. Now I see more and more 3 months. (I personally have 2.)

          How is that enforced? Just financial incentives?

          Somebody above mentioned resignation bonuses, which sounds like it’s just terms in your contract.

            As notice periods are recognized and written into law (the law says that minimum 30 days or whatever your contract says), they can sue you for lost profit. It’s basically that your contract is not up, not finished until your notice period ends, so the same enforcement applies as if you won’t show up for work some day. You are still a full-time, fully recognized employee until your notice ends.

            But breaking it is not really a thing here: we are used to it, and it’s actually recognized as mutually beneficial. If they fire me, I still have 2 months of sure salary and if I resign, they have 2 months to look for a replacement.
