Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining (WARN) act an employer of more than 100 people must give at least 60 days notice of a layoff. Yet your most critical employee, your second in command, top salesperson, or engineer, can just call one day and say they’ve gone to work for a competitor. The law says they have that right unless contractually prohibited.

At least 2 weeks - that's just common courtesy in the US. If you have a particularly important project that you're working on, or an extremely friendly relationship with your manager and the higher-ups in the company, you can give more.

But, never give any form of notice until you have the other job offer firmly in hand, accepted, and with a set start date. You never know what your employer is going to do when you give that notice - even if you think you have a good relationship with the company.
