Shall I just walk?

[Wormwood666]

I'm suspended at work and under investigation with a good chance I'll loose my job. However iv been offered a new job with another company (more pay, better company) but my current job is making me give 3 months notice (it's in my contact) or until investigation is finished. However, new job needs me to start sooner. Not really sure what I can do. What would be the consequence of just leaving and starting my new job?

Firstly you should try to reach agreement with your employer to work a lesser notice period. If you cannot and you just leave then potentially your employer could make a claim for breach of contract especially if they end of with extra cost as a result of your leaving early.

Thanks for getting back. I spoke to them and they are not willing to let me go. I wouldn't cost them any money and not going to a competitive company or anything like that. If I don't, I will loose this amazing and better paid new job :/

I have provided the information on what your employer could do. It is entilrey your decison as to whether to leave without giving the required notice to secure the new job.

In terms of pay if you did leave early, the company is ony obliged to pay you up until you leave but that should include any accured but untaken holiday to that date.
