I have just signed a contract of employment with a company and the notice period is 1 week. The rest of the documents required for my hiring haven't been signed yet (life insurance etc). Could I resign now or there might be a problem? I read somewhere that the employer can sue you if you break a contact too early. Thank you in advance.

Re: Leaving a job when you've just signed contract.
The contract comes into effect as soon as its signed and exchanged therefore you can resign a job you have signed the contract for but have not yet started. What you need to do is write/email the recruiting manger or the HR department explain that you have decided not to take up the position and that you are giving them the required one weeks notice.
It is unlikely that they will do anything or require you to work the one weeks notice.If you would like a one-to-one expert consultation with me on your employment issue than I can be contacted by emailing admin@legalbeaglesgroup.com
I do not provide advice by PM although I may on occasion ask you to send me documents this way but any related advice will be provided back on your thread.
I do my best to provide good practical advice, however I do so without liability.
If you have any doubts then do please seek professional legal advice.
