Hi - I resigned from my current position one week ago - but after careful consideration I feel a fresh start was not such a good thing!! After 10 years in my current job - I have been told I can only come back if I walk away for two weeks (unpaid) and then re join afresh - which means back to square one - a new contract - less sick less holiday etc etc., does this sound right?

It depends!
Has the company written and accepted your resignation, if not then you can retract it and there is nothing they can do!
If they have accepted your resignation in writing then it is down to them to agree to take you back or not and if they do want to take you back it will be on their terms!

Retracting Resignation

Once your resignation was accepted by the company and the termination of your contract date was agreed. Both parties can decline or accept of revoke of notice. Your company will have a written employees contract & handbook which should outline this subject. As your position has possibly not been offered to somebody else. The company could re-instate you with the same terms. They are possibly seeing this as one less employee being at redundancy payment stage if the situation ever arose and lower sickness, holiday and benefits. They probably also think that you were leaving for another role and it's fallen through and that why you are staying. Speak to a union rep if you have one or a legal adviser who specialises in employment law. You are entitled to ask your current employer for a copy of the employee contract that you originally signed when you joined the company.

I'm afraid so. Once you've submitted your resignation your employer generally can't refuse to accept it. When you handed in your notice you were effectively terminating your own contract. They can, at their discretion, allow you to retract it should you wish to, but I don't believe that they're under any obligation to do so.
Now there's a problem - they've got this letter in writing with your signature on it. Sorry to say it, but your original contract is probably null and void now. A new contract will be your only option if you want to stay with them, but as you've seen, that's going to mean you start again as a new employee.

Sounds like they are just being awkward and making an example out of you.Try talking to HR and see if something can be done,its not fair after all your years with the company that you should have to start at the bottom all over again.If they won't budge,maybe you were right to resign in the first place

im afraid so, i studied employment law at university, and if you leave your place of employment and then later decide to re-join you will have to start on a new contract and yes unfortunately you may have lost out on some holiday benefits etc due to this.

There is no law to protect you when you retract your resignation. You should consider discussing your situation with HR to see if you can continue your benefits as before.

Yes it does.
You have told your employer that you intend to leave, so therefore they are not even under obligation to accept you back.
This sounds like they have decided you are suitable for re-employment with this company.

You shot yourself in the foot. Right now, they're either deliberately rubbing it in, or somebody needs to to put an overzealous guy in the personnel department on a leash.
