You don't have to abide by this though. If you leave without seeing out all of your notice there's not much RM can do; other than sue you! and to do that they'd have to prove that it cost them more to cover your job than it would to have paid you had you attended for work during your notice period. Not recommended though as RM might get nasty and not provide a reference. You do not have any statutory entitlement to a reference. in fact no employee has.
If u leave Royal Mail, their reference consists of confirming that you were employed from start day x to finish day y no more no less.

And in the climate of job cuts it would be hard to prove a cost in replacing someone over and above what it would cost anyway had the employee worked their notice. It's more likely to save money since they've managed to achieve a job cut through natural wastage instead of VR.

It's cheaper to phone the 0114 number, rather than the 0845 number.

NOTICE

Post by cappamore »

Under English common law if you are wekly paid then yes, a week's notice suffices but I'm sure that isn't what your contract says. Is the 0845 number for those eejits at Pond Street, Sheffield? You wouldn't believe how inefficient they can be.

Tommo, you sure about badmouthing Bond? Remember............................................he has a licence to kill :no no

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
