  • Employment Question

    Not quite sure if this is the right place for an employment question but it's going here anyway.

    If you work for an employer, paid monthly, on a 3 month trial contract ( that was actually signed 9 months ago). Worked 1 week in hand, How much notice would you need to give when resigning????

    This is not for me, it's for my cousin.

    Re: Employment Question

    The statutory minimum notice period that an employee who has been continuously employed for 1 month or more is required to give to an employer is always 1 week, regardless of length of service.

    If he's paid weekly and isnt under any contract a week should be sufficient.

    Has his contract got a clause in for rolling it on or has he signed new contracts since the trial period ended ??

    Without a contract there will be no specified notice period.


    (sorry its me again lol)

      Re: Employment Question

      The initial contract he signed was for a 3 month probationary period. Once this period had ended he was supposed to sign a 1 year contract but the employer never got round to it.
      So the contract he is under. if any, is the original 3 month contract that was signed 9 months ago. He is paid monthly.

      IMO he is no longer under any contract and therefore does not need any notice or just the minimum 1 week.

        Once you've handed in your notice, does the employer have to allow time off for interviews?
        Plus , regarding the statutory notice periods you mentions, from which act is this from?

            The basis of his current working pattern will justify the contract,
            ie if he always does 40hr week mon to fri, that will be taken as his contracted hours.

            As Ame says, he wil need to give 1 weeks notice, unless contracted otherwise

              ok thanks. one week sounds good, he said he'll even do 2, what a fool :shush:

              Anyway, the problem he will have is his current employer will not allow him time off for a 2nd interview next tuesday morning.
              He has not handed in his notice yet, was gonna do it tomorrow.

                  I can see two ways about this

                  1) They've handed your notice in so they cant sack you for going to the interview

                  2) You bargain that you will stay an extra week to help them on proviso that you are allowed time off for the interview.

                  These depend on his/her relation with the boss etc

                    Or, depending on the time, get out of work for a:

                    1. Dentist Appointment
                    2. Doctors Appointment
                    3. Family "emergency"
                    4. Lunch - If it overruns, there was a huge queue in the bank/post office/anywhere really

                      The weeks notice with the intention of going to interview on tuesday morning 9am.
                      So during the notice period, they are not allowed to sack you for a menial offence, like going to an interview? Is this within the Employment Rights Act 1996?

                          Personally I would just take a sicky. Even pop into the doctors and get a self cert note if you want.
                          But If your leaving, Who cares?

                            Gonna quote the following

                            " please accept this blah blah blah.......................................pursuan t to s.86(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Thank you blah blah blah.

                            I know they are gonna be funny with him so if he makes out he has done some research into employment law, they should just accept it without any hassle.

                            but if he does get any, he has my mobile number and I have a very large hammer.:roll:


                            he could just "oversleep"?

                            Or, depending on the time, get out of work for a:

                            You've done this before haven't you Paradox :roll:

                              This was my last resignation letter if it helps any

                              Dear Hugh

                              As required by my contract of employment, I herby give you one weeks’ notice of my intention to leave my position as an International Jetsetting Playboy.

                              I have decided that it is time to move on and I have accepted a position elsewhere. This was not an easy decision and took a lot of consideration. However, I am confident that my new role will help me to move towards some of the goals I have for my career.

                              Please be assured that I will do all I can to assist in the smooth transfer of my responsibilities before leaving.

                              I wish both you and Playboy every good fortune and I would like to thank you for having me as part of your team.

                              I would be grateful if you could arrange for my P45 to be available on my final day (xx/xx/2007)
