Resignation Pro

Can some one give a back dated resignation letter?

Assume you quit your job without giving notice. After two weeks you sent your resignation letter saying you resigned two weeks before. Can the employer hold your last pay because of it?

1. In Missouri, your employer can't hold your pay at all, you work, you get paid. You can quit any time you wish. 2 week notice is just a favor you do to the company. If you suddenly quit, your employer generally has to pay you the next pay period they normally would.
2. No, they can't hold your pay for that reason alone. You're not actually 'back-dating' the resignation letter, but simply giving them notice of your resignation two weeks after the fact. They still need to pay you for any days that you worked. Now, I don't know why you would send such a letter, it should be fairly clear that you quit to them.
3. No. That defeats the purpose of giving 'two weeks notice'.
