I’m on parental leave and will resign before my leave ends. Do I still need to give my firm a two-week notice or should I just tell them I’m resigning effectively immediately before my start date at another job? I’d like to maximize my leave as much as possible. if I give a two-week notice, would they let me go immediately as I’ve been away for a while anyways?

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients.
