It is something to be aware of when you give notice. Your HR manual will tell you what the official policy is. Some will give you some slack for things planned well ahead of time that involve non-refundable tickets but may want the notice period to start after the vacation. Since the US has shorter notice periods than many countries, they want to make sure they get that turnover time. | |

I already had planned to take a couple extra days off over a holiday weekend when I submitted my resignation. However, I gave 3 weeks notice to (more than) make up for the days I would be away. My direct boss still tried to revoke my planned days off, citing a policy that employees weren't supposed to take leave during their notice period; fortunately HR and his boss over-ruled him, since I had given more than the required notice and I was still putting in more two weeks worth of work. | |

I felt it would look good to be on top of things and could save a phone call later confirming the start date after my resignation. | |
