You can have similar contracts in the US, but employers hate that here so we don't. Thus neither side owes the other side anything and we are at a point where giving notice at all in many cases is the worst thing an employee can do. This is the situation employers have fought for. When I put it that way, the article becomes even more disgusting, trying to place a duty on outgoing employees that is not reciprocated by employers at all. No, if the two or four week notice period is not legally agreed to in the contract, employers have no reasonable expectation that anyone should give it. And if it wasn't to avoid burning bridges, I'd never give it. Hell, half the time the bridges are so weak, it's worth burning them behind you. But that's employment culture in the US these days.
