Notice period

Post by heraldmoth »

What’s the official notice period for someone who’s worked 20+ years and still has annual leave to take?

1 week.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It's definitely a week for you, iirc it changed about 5 years ago, sorry nothing to hand to back that up but if I were you I'd phone HR to confirm.

As I suggested earlier just phone HR who will confirm it's one week.

I asked HR via the peoples app and they said 4 weeks. I have been with the company for 31 years and could have sworn most people give 1 weeks notice?
