§ 87411 Employee Notice Requirement

Key Takeaways

  • •If you work at a community college, you must tell your boss by July 1st if you're staying or leaving next year.
  • •Your boss must ask you by May 30th, either in person or by certified mail.
  • •If you don't answer without a good reason, they can assume you're quitting and fire you on June 30th.

Example

A teacher at a community college gets a letter on May 20th asking if they'll teach next year. They ignore it and don't reply.

Since the teacher didn't answer by July 1st, the college can say they quit and stop paying them after June 30th.
