    Well, they may still make your life a living 'L if they decide that you should've given them two weeks notice - "Sorry, you can't start there on the 11th, because you can't leave here before the 24th."

    Hopefully they won't do that, and you'll be on your way to a better job, and an occassionally kilted one at that!

    Congratulations and good luck!
    As I remember NJ is an "at will employment" state.

    Unless a person has a contract that states he will work for a specific period of time, the two week notice is a courtesy to the employer to allow a bit of time for the position to be filled. Usually, there is no legal "right" to the two weeks, and the employee can walk out the door at any time, and is entitled to be paid up to the minute he leaves. As has been mentioned, this may cause hard feelings and potentially bad references.
