Re: Had enough
If you've still got a copy check your contract it will tell you how much notice you need to give. Could ask yor COM for a copy.
Generally speaking if you're paid weekly you only have to give a weeks notice, if your paid monthly then it's a month. There are a few weird contracts thought with some of the New Joiners.
You can just walk out the door if your COMs messing you about (it's happened in my office) it just means it takes longer for them to sort out your owed wages/holiday etc.
Managers will ALWAYS try and delay your leaving date because it leaves them short staffed. Brilliant Time to Leave . Good Luck

Re: Had enough
The procedure is on the people app, HR tile.
There’s an online booklet.
I’m a part timer if 6 years and my offer of employment states 4 weeks notice is required, as does the relevant section on the people app.

Re: Had enough
Find out your notice period on your contract (mine was 4 weeks, I joined in 2017) and work out when your notice period will be up. I think some older contracts are just 1 weeks notice.
Email or write to your manager stating you are handing in your notice and your last date of employment will be xx/xx/xxxx.
That's what I did and no issues. I did not contact HR.
You may owe or be owed annual leave depending on how much of your entitlement you have taken so make sure you get that sorted (especially if they owe you time/money). I was owed 2 days and had this paid in my last weekly wages as we were too busy for the office to give me the days off before I finished.

Re: Had enough
The notice period was changed in either April 2017 or April 2018.
Going by groundhog_day's post it was April 2017 when the notice period was changed from one week to four weeks. If the OP has been in for 6 years then it is pretty much certain that they need to give one week's notice.
Make sure you print off or screenshot everything you may need that is on the App as access to it will stop on your last day! And be sure to fully check your pay is correct before you last day. I found that all out when I left 4 months ago.

Re: Had enough
Thanks for confirming, I can never remember which year it was!groundhog_day wrote: ↑12 Dec 2022, 16:31Yes I joined November 2017 so the notice period change to 4 weeks must have been April 2017.

Re: Had enough
I was referring to the fact that it's BEFORE Christmas Rambo!
No need to put up with all that extra work for a measly Christmas Bonus ... sorry Attendance Allowance
Although IF you're planning on Striking for the announced dates you can look forward to the longest Christmas Break we've ever had! ENJOY

Of course it's been the easiest Christmas ever .... we no longer have to deliver all those tons of Christmas Cards....... because we're now a Parcel Delivery Firm!
