PR-Q-01:
What is the regulation for Resignation notification period for an employee to employer in Georgia?

PR-A-01:

When employees are hired on an at-will basis (not contract employee), both employer and employee are free to terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason or no reason, unless it is stated in the resignation policy of the company. The resignation policy can be stated in the employment contract signed between the employer and employee. When an employee decides to resign from at-will employment, it is preferable, but not required, that the employee give sufficient notice; a 2-week notice is the generally accepted standard.

On the other hand, WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) applies to employers with 100 or more full-time employees is laying off at least 50 people. It requires employers to provide advance notice of at least 60 days prior to qualifying layoffs and closings.
