If you want to leave your job, you have to tell your employer in advance of when you want to leave. This is called giving notice.Most employment agreements have a clause telling you how much notice you have to give – this can range from a day or two to a month or longer. Some employment agreements do not have such a clause, but this does not mean that you can just walk out or not turn up. This is because you still have to give “reasonable” notice to your employer. See more information on reasonable notice. If you do not turn up to work and don’t give notice, then depending on what your employment agreement says your employer may be able to withhold or make penalty deductions from your final pay. So check your employment agreement to be clear about what it says about leaving your employment.
