4 weeks, but what are they going to do if you just leave ? Depends on if you want to be a 'good' leaver or not. To be honest, I sure RM would just think, "Good, another one gone".
it's actually not for me it's a ex colleague who's got a job lined up , i left jan after 32 years and again had another job lined up .

Stricktly speaking 4 weeks but nothing you could do if you left earlier. On the other hand, you could be creative and couple of days after having given your notice, get yourself signed off for 4 weeks by your GP. Play them at their own game

If he is owed leave it is likely they won't pay it if he doesn't work his notice (4 weeks). That said my mate had 3 weeks' leave left so they told him to take it and only do a week's notice.
