Subject: Two-Week Notice as Registered CSA
Hi everyone,
I’m transitioning from a large broker-dealer to a registered investment advisor (RIA) in my role as a client service associate (CSA). I’ve been informed that if I submit my two-week notice, they may ask me to leave the office immediately. Is this accurate? Also, will I be compensated for the full two weeks based on the resignation date I provide in my letter?
Thank you!

It’s common in the financial industry, especially with broker-dealers, for companies to have a policy of walking employees out once they submit their two weeks’ notice. This is often done to protect sensitive information and maintain security. Regarding your pay, it can vary by firm. Typically, if you’re still technically an employee during the notice period, you should be entitled to your salary for those two weeks, though you may not get to work through that time. It’s a good idea to check your employee handbook or speak with HR for clarification on their policies. Make sure you have everything in order before your transition!
