<prompt> Human: Hi everyone, I work in New Jersey and I may be getting a job offer this afternoon. I work in a very competitive position. IfWhen I turn my resignation in, it is highly likely I will be let go immediately regardless of how much notice I give. I plan on giving a 3-4 week notice because I do love my current employment situation and would love to leave on the best of terms. Can anyone tell me what avenue I can expect to take in order to help with that anticipated window of unemployment? Will I have to file for unemployment? Will my company be obligated to pay me for my 3 weeks that I promised to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated on this topic.Update: turned in my resignation. They gave me an 18k salary bump and a promotion. I took it.  <response>: If you put in your notice and they let you go, at least in Ohio you are eligible for unemployment. I know many states are similar to that, I am not 100 on New Jersey. They do not have to pay you for the remainder time though. So at most you would qualify for 2-4 weeks of unemployment.I would not put in 3-4 week notice. Put in 2 and offer to help for a 3rd if they request.
