I work for a small 4 person law firm, last wednesday I gave them my verbal notice that I am leaving.?


My question is should I give them a written notice as well?

It would be a good idea to give them a written notice as well, that way you can use them for a reference in the future if you need to and they should have it on file and they wont be able to say that you just quit.Have the manager sign it and make a copy for your self for future reference.

I'd give them written notice also, but it's not a legal requirement.

You should always give a written notice. You may need to use this firm as a reference for a future position.

Always give a written notice, so there is no question that you gave proper notice.

You may want to put in your written notice that, as you indicated last Wednesday's (whatever date that was), you will be leaving the office. Put your final date in there too.

The employee handbook - if there is one - should also specify what type of notice they want.
