I have received an offer of employment with a set of terms of employment. One of the terms is that I must provide 30 days notice if I quit the job. Is this legal and enforceable? Is this a common clause, and if so is it common to negotiate this?

Thank you for your question. This is not an unusual provision, and may or may not be enforceable depending on how it is worded. There are pros and cons to negotiating it (for example, if you negotiate your resignation clause at the outset, you may be sending the message you are already thinking about leaving).
