What is the legal notice time to leave your job in Alberta?

How much notice time does a mid management employee have to give his employer if this is not stipulated in the employment agreement? What happens to any unused leave time the employee has accumulated?

By the way, I am not union and my employment contract does not say anything about notice period.

According to law, you have to give a month's notice even though it is not stipulated in the contract. You can also claim wages for the unused leave !!

if you have an employee contract, or a union, check with them. Or ask at Human Resources in your company?
Most jobs require 2 weeks notice. I don't know what happens to the unused leave time.
sorry I can't be of more help. I think each employer has their own regulations.
good luck
Merry Christmas

Most employers like 2 weeks notice (at the very least) and that means 14 days (not 10 working days).

SICK LEAVE:

Sick Leave
Sick leave is not necessarily family-related, although an employee鈥檚 illness can arguably have repercussions on his or her family. Besides, as will be seen in the section concerning special benefits under the Employment Insurance legislation, work interruptions due to sickness may affect one鈥檚 right to EI maternity and parental benefits.

Sick leave in Canada is provided in six jurisdictions. (A seventh jurisdiction, Ontario, provides an emergency leave to certain employees which may be used in case of illness, injury or medical emergency.) All such leave is unpaid. In Quebec, employees with three months of uninterrupted service are allowed 17 weeks of employment protection against dismissal, suspension or transfer because of an absence due to illness or accident. A similar provision exists in the federal jurisdiction for employees with three months
of continuous employment in regard to an absence due to illness of up to 12 weeks. In the federal jurisdiction, an employee may be assigned to a different employment if he or she is unable to perform his or her previous work. In Quebec, an employee may be assigned to comparable employment after an absence of four weeks. Newfoundland and New Brunswick provide employees five days of leave per year if they have been employed with the same employer for a continuous period of six months and 90 days, respectively.
Employees in the Yukon are entitled to one day without pay per month of employment with an employer, up to a maximum of 12 days.

Employers are prohibited from dismissing or laying off an employee during the leave period. Provisions regarding sick leave are more centred on family responsibilities in Saskatchewan. In fact, an employer may not dismiss,
suspend, layoff, demote or discipline an employee with at least 13 weeks of service because of absence due to a personal illness or injury, or鈥攊nterestingly鈥攄ue to the illness or injury of a dependant who is a member of the employee鈥檚 immediate family. An employee鈥檚 job is protected for absences not exceeding 12 weeks per year in case of serious injury or illness, or 12 days in a calendar
year for illnesses or injuries that are not serious. There is nevertheless an exception in the latter case. Employees with a demonstrated record of chronic absenteeism that is unlikely to improve are not entitled to this leave. In addition, the period of job protection is extended to 26 weeks for employees on workers鈥?compensation. An employer may require that an employee provide a medical certificate in such instances.


In California, most employers say you lose any sick leave upon giving notice, but vacation leave is earned so cannot be taken away.
