Hello,
This situation is now rather ambigious (unclear) because normally if you have a written contact of employment, it would state clearly the amount of time required to terminate the contract with the employer. But if you've no written contract then your on thin ice as it where!. You only have the employers word for it, & of course an employer can make up the rules as they go along if that suits them? (yes! it can be very tricky).
If you've now completed your notice period of six weeks, your fully within your rights to leave immediately and without having to give yet further notice to end the employment.
**The employer sounds like they made you a "verbal offer" of a better salary ( a carrott to make you stay on!!) or job promotion. However, if the verbal offer hasnt materialised or was broken i.e. not kept too! or apears to be just an empty promiss. Again your within your legal rights to leave, you havent broken any emplyment laws here as far as I can see.
**I woudnt believe a word of anything offered further as an incentive to stay. i.e the employer or manager is NOT to be trusted if they dont deliver on any promises made. Sadly you can only go by the past track record of how they have behaved towards you.
Hope that might be of use? IR

Firstly you will need to give notice again if you want to receive holiday pay etc. or to get a reference either now or at a later date, although it is now against the law to give a bad reference I am sure it is not law that you have to receive one, check with the job centre. You should really ask the person that promised the rise or promotion if there was a timescale to it and if so when will you see either. If you are not happy with the response you can still leave. Getting solicitors etc.is not only expensive but creates a negative situation which might reflect badly on you when you seek further employment elsewhere. Remember, if you leave amicably, no matter how they have treated you, your next employer will not start with a negative view of you. No employer will be keen to set on someone who they might feel will reach for a solicitor at the first opportunity. b happy

If it was me I'd politely ask what's happening regarding your promotion/pay rise. If they are not forthcoming I'd wait to do the correct thing...after all 2 wrongs don't make a right and you couldn't ask for a reference for a new job so that would be plain stupid on your part. If you have something in writing to say they were going to give you promotion etc then take it up with a lawyer, if not do the above. You are always worth more than someone is willing to pay you for putting up with bad conditions remember that. Good luck in finding a job where your employer values your worth.

In the US you are not under obligation (unless you have a contract) to give any notice at all. But so that you are not "burning any bridges" It would be better if you turn in at least a two week's notice. Good luck.

Are you still being paid by them? If so, yes, you are required to work your notice period again. You can leave immediately but this will affect your pay.

If you are in the UK you might want to contact the CAB, your union or UCAS. Check your contact carefully too.
