Notice Period

Post by scoobydoo »

Does anyone know how many weeks notice we have to give if we want to hand in our resignation?

Cheers in advance :-)

Wow, really?! I thought it would be at least 2, if not a month! I've been there 5 and a half years, does this not have any bearing on how much notice I should give?

No. If you are paid weekly, it is just one week's notice.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

No, this can and has backfired, on me it did. Resigned giving the weeks notice and went sick 2 days before leaving date. Couldn't be arsed really. Dim suspended me without pay for 2 days. Couldn't be bothered to argue the toss over it. Just work till leave day or take annual if you can get it.
