Can my employer request a 30 day notice before I leave to another job?

My employer wants me to give him a 30 day notice before my resignation instead of 2 weeks or I forfeit my unused vacation and unused sick days. Is that legal?

You employer can request anything it wants, but it cannot require it. You are free to leave with zero notice. Unused sick time is payable to you if it was accrued over time and the employer did not have a specific policy addressing how it could be forfeited. Best of luck.
