Despite this, it's usually customary for employees to provide two weeks' notice when leaving an organisation.

Employers are not legally required to provide severance pay (unless it is stipulated in the employee's contract or in the company policy).

Employers are also not required to pay any accrued but unused holiday time or sick leave, unless stipulated in the employment agreement.
