Would giving 1 week notice burn bridges?

I’m planning to give notice on November 1 with my last day being the 8th.

I have surgery the 12th and the new job starts the 18th.

I don’t want to give notice before the 1st to ensure that I have my insurance to cover the month of November for my surgery.

I was scheduled to be on FML 11/12-12/2. But I will backtrack it & just leave 11/8. I’ll still have some income that week since I’ll get PTO paid out.

In your case, I would say no. Totally depends on your situation. But I’d possibly try to turn it into “medical leave” and that you decided to not return…?

I came by to say this. Don’t give notice, just go on leave and then decide not to come back.

If your case, I would say no. However, I would meet with my superior to explain😉

I would recommend reviewing your company’s policies but, generally, if you give notice in the beginning of the month your insurance ends at the end of the month.

In other words, if you give notice on November 1, you will be covered with insurance until November 30.

Great. What is your concern then? You’d have insurance coverage during your surgery, which is the same month.

Insurance end date is typically determined by your last day (termination date) not the day of notice to an employer. Meaning, if you give notice on Monday with a termination date of Nov. 8th, you’d still have insurance through November.

Is the concern that there’s a chance you’d give notice and they automatically terminate? I’m not super sure about FML, so would check that but you typically maintain benefits up to your official last day.

I’d go out on leave and just not comeback. If you tell them you’re leaving they maybe try to give you a release.

Hi everyone! I am working with my HR to improve our maternity/paternity leave policy. Currently I only get 2 weeks fully paid and then an additional 8-12 weeks at 60% pay (short term disability). I need some examples of companies with less than 100 employees and what your maternity/paternity policy is. Please include company name! Thanks!!!

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
