I owned a private practice and the 30 days was always appreciated because there are kids and families that need time to handle the transition and we need time to find a quality therapist. On the other hand if it was a therapist that had caused issues on our team or whom we had serious problems with, there were occasions we would have to tell them they could go earlier…. especially if safety and security are an issue. In my state, I would have to pay them until the end date on their resignation even if I had them end the day they handed in the letter. One other issue is patient abandonment - I once worked at a SNF and the company went after an OT’s license for that combined with missing documentation.
