To be honest though, notice period is not really something that can be enforced. Your contract might say 3 months but if you get annoyed you can just leave office one day and not come back. I don't think there's anything a company can do if you just walk away.

It depends on how they enforce it. One of my former employers would pay out unused vacation days under vaguely defined terms of being in good standing with the company, which I understood to mean that you have to give them the full notice period that they asked for. In a lot of states I think it isn't allowed to not pay out unused vacation days, but I'm sure other things could be done to enforce the three-month policy.

Ah perhaps. I'm a contractor and I don't have paid holidays so no need to worry about that lol :P My notice period is usually 1-2 weeks.
