My current director wants to hold me until they find a replacement. I would like to give two weeks notice.

Answer:
An employee's rights upon a departmental transfer within the same employer, if not covered by an employment contract, union collective bargaining agreement, or policy manual or handbook would generally be defined by the employer. A private employer has wide discretion in creating employment policies regarding notices and transfers, as long as they are not prevented by law and don't constitute illegal discrimination.
