I think your employer would appreciate you leaving before the vacation. There's not an employer out there that wouldn't appreciate honesty, and the opportunity to find your replacement. Talk to your boss, explain it just as you have here, tell them you love the job and the opportunities you've had, but you have to focus on your education, and tell them you hate leaving. Offer to train your replacement and offer to be in a support role for as long as you're available. By giving them notice, the chance to get another receptionist, and offering to help ensure a smooth transition, you won't be burning any bridges with them and you'll be showing them you value them. |

Why don't you just tell them the truth ... the job is conflicting with your studies. |

I'd put it in after you get back, put in two weeks and tell everyone goodbye and thank you for everything.
Just a little bit of advice about leaving a job...It's a job, not your career. |

As long as you give them a good amount of time to find a replacement for you, that's all you really need to do to leave on "good terms". if you want a bonus for leaving, ask your boss for a recommendation. And thank them for everything.
leaving on bad terms would you require leaving without notice, peeing in your bosses coffee, sleeping with all the employees, and setting your desk on fire. |

They always ask for at least a 2 week notice. If you have a month between getting back and school, then do so when you get back. This way they have a month to sort things out. |

I would put in my 2 weeks before vacation and let them pay me for vacation time not used... that's what i did 2 years ago when i switched jobs. The extra money came in handy. |

you want to give at least a 2 week notice if you want it to be on good terms. Try doing it when you get back from vacation (if there's a month left to work). Wait about a week or two then give it. If you do it before your vacation, they might just let you go sooner so they can hire someone sooner. So if you still want to work there after your vacation, wait til afterwards. |

Everything that you will be out for you have earned (sick time, vacation time) so you do not need to feel bad about it. As soon as you come back from vacation, submit your resignation letter. Say that, during the medical ordeal and vacation, you had plenty of time to reconsider portions of your life and came to the realization that you would no longer be able to keep up with school while working weekdays and need a position that can work around your school schedule. Tell them you don't have to leave for another month, but because of you value them, you wanted them to know as soon as possible. You don't actually owe them more than two weeks, but it's a nice gesture to notify them as soon as you know (after all of that hard thinking on medical leave and vacation). That's your story, stick to it. |

Do it after vacation, for sure. You could give more than two weeks if you feel so inclined, but definitely don't tell them about it until after you get back. |

First of all, your not ''quitting''. If you leave on good terms, you'd be resigning from the company. Sit down with your boss and let him/her know your upcoming schedule and that you think it's best to purse other options. As long as you can have a civil conversation you might also be able to use them as a good reference. |
