Notice period

[bakersdozen]

After over 20 years service it's time to leave.

My final day will be Sat 19th July. As I'm on annual leave from Thursday am I best handing notice in then with the final date clearly listed or best just to do on the 12th?

Many thanks

If your intending to leave, just hand it in now.

[Jb1969]

Agree with above.
Can I ask reason(s) retirement?

[bakersdozen]

Utterly fed up with the way the job is now. Have a new Monday to Friday one.

Found out this morning our office lost 8 posties in June ( 1 sacking, 2 long term sick & 5 resignations) with no plans to replace them, any new starters will be afternoon DPR drivers who start & leave daily

Good luck bakersdozen

Many offices are experiencing similar, and this is why VR is looking more and more unlikely

If you want the minimum of fuss hand it in on the Thursday then you are out as soon as you hand it in. We've had a couple do it that way, no collection, no card or fake congratulations from management.

Good for you, you won’t regret it

Good luck to you.
I am feeling like anything is better, so I don't think I will be far behind you.
I will send my resignation by recorded delivery to HR.
Sod the management, they are clueless.

Congrats Bakers, after the day I've had today, I feel like telling them where to shove it, in the morning!

Out of interest what is the notice period you're supposed to give RM?

And do you do it through your DOM / local management or can you contact HR directly.

I belive if your paid weekly then it's just a week, monthly pay is four weeks, but if I find a new job I'll just give two weeks, the jobs I apply for they won't wait four weeks. Don't see much they can do except maybe stop any holiday payments

How do people typically give their notice? verbally? a letter? an email? Do you also inform your CWU rep?

Maybe an email to the manager + CWU rep is the best way to do it then it's properly recorded and evidenced. Can't trust a manager with verbal notice.
