EDIT to add: Legally speaking, at my place of work, we are entitled to retire the same day we put in our papers.
I gave two months' notice, as I simply could not leave them in the lurch. The position required certain skills, plus a willingness to work extremely odd hours, and the incumbent would also need training.
Fortunately, they were on the ball/lucky and had someone in the pipeline who could take over with minimal disruption. Still, the goodwill I gained by being considerate, paid off in the end. I got a very good part-time post-retirement job offer.
