Add Comment Question: I recently returned to my former employer and am looking to resign after only 2.5 weeks. The reason is, I have accepted a job with another firm. In the employment agreement I signed with my current employer there is a clause about giving 2 weeks notice should I wish to resign. My question is, even though I signed the employment contract with this clause, do I still "legally" need to give 2 weeks noticed since I have only been there such a short period of time? Answer: You can ask your current employer to waive the resignation notice period. However, if they don't waive it, you will have to comply with the 2-week requirement.
