In the UK, they could give you a bad reference that will prevent you getting another job as quickly. It's always best to leave on good terms. that way, if you're in need of some extra cash, some time in the future then they might be willing to take you back temporarily. If you don't work your notice, then they're not going to do you any favours in the future.

If you are monthly paid, your pay will be a month behind. It is normal in such circumstances to allow yourself a period of one month whilst working this notice period. Depending on how long you have worked for this firm they may have an option in your contract of employment which allows you to give notice without having to work the month.It is unusal for an employer to get a months notice if you were fortnightly or weekly paid. Take a long look at your contract and adhere to it.
If you want to leave without the statutory period of notice any overpayments made to you by your employer will have to be repaid.
Also if your employer is a small business what will the effect be upon him, is someone automatically available to replace you. You have to be considerate here, if trade is affected this is a black mark against your name, wherever you go. If your post has been a sales one, and you think of taking customers with you, beware POACHING CLIENTS IS AN OFFENCE.
You ask what can your employer do about this situation, I am presuming here that communications between you have been fraught with difficulties. Before you leave you should really get to grips with this. A bad reference can do untold damage in your job search and future career. If you leave under a cloud a future employer may well be curious as to your suitability for any post you apply, and may well ask himself. Why do I feel this person will be disloyal?
In your question you have not expressed the reason why you want to leave your employment, maybe you should look to this also and ask am I justified in desiring to leave? Can this situation be turned around so that I don't feel my time has been wasted?
Have you got another job to go to, which starts as soon as you leave, and if not - What do you stand to loose in terms of benefits?
The unemployment benefit office will consider a claim with regards to National insurance etc,... only if your post no longer exists and your employer has made you redundant. But there are penalties if you choose to leave of your own accord, or if you get sacked.A Disabilities or health issue may assist your claim but otherwise the above applies in normal circumstances.
Think twice on everything.

OK(.UK Only) To start with a company can not give you a bad reference! largely they can't do that. they can refuse to give a reference which is twice as bad. if your monthly paid find out if your a month in advance or behind. if you don't work your notice some companies will stop all money owing to you. including Holiday, sick days, anything. on breaking a contract a company can take any money they are owed from your account. if you refuse they can take you to court. my advice - talk to you boss, some companies will be happy to let you go early. or come to some sort of arragment. some see a person leaving as a liability, security risk and so forth. good luck

You could get a bad reference but most companies now days will only give out the information of how long you worked there and whether you quit or were fired. Sometimes, just leaving is a good thing because some companies will terminate you immediately if they think you are looking for another job or planning to quit. Either way, you are free to stay or go and they can't do a thing about it. Good luck!

There can be many eventualities which you can face in the event you absent yourself without fulfilling the condition of one month's notice. These can be:
(1) Your employer can legally claim compensation, as spelled in your employment agreement or bond you might have signed, or as per the organizational rules;
(2) The employer can report the matter to the police declaring you as deserter from your duties without official permission, or by alleging to have stolen somthing of your company, if you are not a Government servant;
(3) The employer can take diciplinary action against you as per the organization's Conduct Rules for the employees;
(4) The employer can dismss you debarring you from other employments, if possible for him, or he can report to your new employer about your misconduct of leaving job without observing the organizatio's prescribed procedures.
ADVICE FOR YOU: Better, take leave for more than one month without pay quoting some strong domestic reason in your family or relatives and during that leave period give them a notice of one month stating that you may not be able to continue with your job due to compelling rfamily reasons. But mind it, you must hand over your charge formally and properly to your successor in leave arrangement or your supervisor before proceeding on leave, so that your employer may not come behind you.

As people are usually paid in arrears, you may forfeit a months pay for not working your notice. Other than that, check your contract, as it may stipulate that you are liable to cover the cost of your replacement if you don't work your notice. Whatever job it is, I don't think you'd like to foot the bill for an agency temp to replace you for the month.
As someone said, you may also have major problems with references if that applies to you.
My advice would be to stick it out and get another job sharpish!

If you are talking about going to a new job, then your present employer cannot legally make you work your notice if your new employer wants you to start immediately. Make sure that you have been paid all monies that are owed to you ie, holiday pay.
If you are talking about just packing in work then you must think about the type of reference that you would get by not working your notice period. Good Luck.

If you have signed a contract that states your notice period then they company can sue you for breach of contract and get the money they paid you back. Plus they won't give you a reference. They can not give you a bad reference, it is illegal, they can, however, refuse to give you a reference and give a reason for the refusal.

As long as they pay you up to the last day you have worked then you're home free! That is if you live in USA! It may be different if you live in another country! In China they would probably jail you! If they have withheld a weeks pay, which is pretty standard practice, then you may lose out on that!
