How much leave notice is required now for weekly paid postie to give?
The contract I have states a weeks notice but it's a pretty old one!
Cheers in advance!

Are we allowed to say what date we want to leave? So if I give three weeks notice but state my last working day.

Ok, do we still have holiday rights, as I've actually got a weeks holiday the week that the notice would be worked out on. It's accrued holiday so entitled to have it, or does it have to be worked?

I just did that, they accepted it fine.

If you have accrued it then yes you can take it, in fact the way you are doing it - 3 weeks notice and 1 weeks leave at the end, is probably the way they would prefer it. Plenty of notice and less leave to pay back.

If i leave in September and have already taken all my annual leave, how would Royal Mail claim back the unearned holiday pay? Just need to prepare myself!

By taking it out of your pay and sending you a bill for the rest. You will probably be working for nothing if you only give them a weeks notice.

What's the best way to give your notice? Just tell the manager or hand in a letter?

Both are acceptable, but a letter with a finish date on it is best for all concerned as it avoids confusion.

Always put it in writing and keep a copy.

If you were on a weeks annual leave could you hand your notice in on the Monday? (first day of holiday) or are you required to work a weeks notice?

YOU would need to hand it in on YOUR last working day of the week prior to your leave week. So if you were off on the saturday just before your leave week, hand it in on the friday, otherwise just had it in on the saturday.

dont forget if you can hang around to october 15 you keep the bulk of your shares (if you have them) from the first issue, the cash out value should be around £2200

I have a new job starting 31st October, when is best to hand in my notice, would handing my notice in before the 15th mean I lose the shares or only if I left the company completely before that date?
