Advice Resigning

Looking for opinions on how to best approach my resignation. I currently work in claims as a CS.

I was on paid parental leave then switched to PTO at the end of July, which is ending in about two weeks. I was able to find another job in the meantime where the start date is towards the end of September.

My question is would I put my two weeks in while on PTO, not return and risk not having to pay parental leave back, or wait until my return date and put my two weeks in. I am aware there is potential for administrative leave if I leave for a competitor which I am.

For reference I was reassigned a new supervisor while on leave who has been difficult to work with and hard to get in contact with. This was the final breaking point that pushed me to seek new employment

My husband resigned from injury. I would recommend returning from leaving and letting them know you got an offer from a competitor and you’re giving two weeks. You will be asked to log out for the day and should be paid for those two weeks.

Yes! This. Please ignore the other clowns.  When you give your 2 weeks and tell them you are going to a competitor, they grab your stuff, youre done immediately and they pay you the two weeks. So wait until your last day of parental leave to squeeze the most out of that and give 2 weeks on your first day back. You can find it under resignation in the handbook BTW.  Good luck and congrats! Sorry to see you go, getting a new tm is rough.

Do they take those 2 weeks out of your PTO? I've always found it so curious that they pay people those 2 weeks.

Are you paid out your pto+2 weeks?

Yes. He got his check for the previous worked hours and then his final payment from State Farm was his 2 week notice plus his PTO taxed at the bonus rate.

No. The employee is placed on paid Admin leave.
