Find answers to your legal question.





I have handed my notice in at work. Am I legally obliged to work my 5 weeks notice?

I have no contract with this company but have been told I need to work 5 weeks notice. If i dont work the 5 weeks then what are the company legally allowed to take off me money wise?
And can i just work 2 weeks notice and leave then?

If you don't have a contract then you should be able to leave whenever you want. Employers have to pay you for hours worked. They may try to mess with you, and try to tie up some of the money, but they have to pay you. When they fire someone, that person doesn't get any notice, so they should be thankful for any notice. Are you leaving to go to a competitor in the business you are already in? When a friend of mine wanted to leave to go to a competitor, they told her they would not accept notice and she would have to leave right away. She decided to stay, so after I checked with her on her decision and she gave me the ok (that it wouldn't bother her) I told my boss I was leaving and not coming back. That was at 4:00 the day before payday. Somehow the boss got my check held and I had to fight for it, but I did get paid all I was owed.

If there is no employment contract, you can chose to leave without notice whenever you feel like it. I must add that companies do however drop your hourly rate to minimum wage on your last weeks and that is perfectly legal.
