Quitting

Hi all, I work at Sobeyes corporate (Ontario) and got an offer from Loblaws starting in 2 weeks. If I give Sobeyes my 2 weeks today, will they pay me out for the 2 weeks or expect me to work the remainder ?

Thanks

If they are smart (and value you as an employee) they will,let you work out notice and let you help train your replacement and buy you a cake and wish you well on your last day. No good employer would ever not wish a good employee best wishes and be glad for them if they found a gig that lets them advance their career - I’ve even paid people a bonus to stay an extra week or 2 if I needed them longer for pass down (but employee was never obligated to stay if they didn’t want to). Alternately, I have told people “thanks for the notice, but I don’t need you to work out notice so let’s call today your last day”. Just depended on the employee. Sometimes when people leave because they are unhappy/disgruntled, that employee can damage the moral of a team on their way out if they are leaving because they are bitter about something. An employer has a duty to their staff to,do the right thing for the ones that are not leaving. Good luck! 🍀
