    Can You Quit on an Earlier Date After You Give Notice
    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Texas

    Hi All,

    I gave my 3 month termination notice two weeks ago. I was an "at will" employee. Do I have any legal binding to finish my 3 month, or I am still an "at will" employee? Can I just quit tomorrow?

    Thanks!

    You can quit tomorrow. Likewise, your employer can tell you to go tomorrow. You have neither the obligation nor the right to finish out the three months UNLESS you have a legally binding and enforceable contract that states otherwise.

    Why did you give three months notice?

    Seems a bit odd.

    Is there more to the story?

    Was there some sort of job necessity, seasonal need, contract, etc?

    May be that the person wants a shot at UI. In my state and a state like TX, if you give more than 2-weeks notice and the employer fires you more than 14 days before your quit date (as in accepts your notice early), they just turned a most likely disqualifying quit, into a discharge and if it's something less than misconduct, you collect.
