I wouldn't say its proper practice, BUT... 2 weeks notice is best, at least for courtesy. It's not always easy to get another person in there when they have to trace footsteps. BUT its not illegal, just frowned upon. Where I worked, it wasn't a startup, but a small business that had been fairly successful. I was hired for cheap and taken advantage of... anyways, I had worked there for over a year and then found another job because I couldn't stand the tyrant boss any longer. He basically cursed me out on my final day. And he withheld my last paycheck for almost a month, claiming that I still had his key, which I had returned to his wife (who was his payroll accountant). Some more details here: http://confessionsoftheprofessions.com/the-opportunity/ http://confessionsoftheprofessions.com/the-opportunity/ Another job I had would not give me my 3 weeks paid vacation... I had to get the Union involved after a month of not getting my "vacation paycheck" (company offered option for paycheck instead of vacation) who were just about to use their lawyer. Company me that paycheck in just a few days.
