Amusement park date up next!
As for quitting your job, I have never intentionally taken paid leave leading up to my resignation date. Perhaps I am just doing it wrong, but I have been lucky enough to never leave a job unwillingly and have wanted to stick around to make sure the hand-off goes smoothly. For similar reasons I have usually given 4 weeks notice in the past and it’s never been an issue.
It depends on the country and on the type of contract you have.
Where I live, for a normal contract, you need to give one month notice starting from the very last working day of the prior month. The same goes for the employer when they want to fire someone.
There are rules where they can also have you quit the very same day they give you notice, but then (unless it was a termination for a very serious offence) they will have to pay you the garden leave in a ratio of how many months or years you have worked.Had a friend of mine that was fired from his job after 10 years with the same company and his garden leave was a full year of salary.
That’s true. My experience is limited to the US and at-will employment. So, there is no kind of obligation on either the employee or employer to give any kind of notice or severance. I have EU colleagues and things like company layoffs happen very differently there compared to the US side where it can be quite sudden with no warning.
