I get paid weekly, but my boss says i must give 1 months notice is this correct.?

Answer 1

Giving notice when leaving a job is voluntary. Your boss may want you to do this, but there is no law saying you have to. You should think of each situation and decide accordingly whether you should give notice or not. Keep in mind that companies are similarly not required to give you notice. You can be terminated at any time. Rightfully so, you are entitled to the same option.

Answer 2

If you signed a contract of employment, you should have a copy of it. You'll need to read it for details of the period of Notice required.

I'd say he was wrong.
Weekly pay doesn't really have a bearing on notice. A month is a long time though. 2 weeks is normally about right depending on what training your replacement will need.

If your 'soon to be ex' boss starts getting a little forceful about it, find out what he will do if you give 2 weeks notice. If he tries to tell you that you will lose money, contact Citizens Advice because this is not lawful.

Answer 3

I believe slavery was abolished years ago. Your boss cannot make you stay on the job. However, he can give you a bad reference. Two weeks notice is typically deemed a professional notice. However, this standard may be different in certain industries and environments.

If you can swing the one month notice do it but ask for a written reference on company letterhead as well.

Answer 4

if you was given a contact when you started it should say the notice required if it doesn't and you have never been given a contact then you dont have to give any and you are still intitled to money that is owed to you if any the employer does not have the right to with hold money or ask for notice unless he has stated this in writng to you it is against the law to with hold money that has already been worked you can get more information from acas you can obtain there number from any job centre i only now this because my husband has a small biusness and we recently experince this situation with an employee now i make sure we give contracts

Answer 5

You need to check with your original contract of employment. That will state the amount of notice you agreed to when you started with them..
Usually though, if you are paid weekly, then it's one week's notice and if you are paid monthly, one month.

Answer 6

Only if you have a contract that states that is the term. If not it may be customary for professional level employees to give a months notice- hourly workers a week or two. But its not law in the US.

Answer 7

You should give at least 2 weeks notice so your boss can find somebody else to cover your shifts.

Answer 8

Hell, most state laws allow you to quit at any time for any reason, provided you don't have a contract. You could quit right away, but they might give you a bad reference. If they do that though, you could sue them.

I look at it like this... If they didn't want you around, how much notice would they give you before firing you or laying you off?

Answer 9

Unless you are under contract that says otherwise, 2 weeks is standard practice. I dont think it has anything to do with how often you get paid.

Answer 10

Yes it is correct. When you are paid has no bearing on notice entitlement which will be in your contract or letter of appointment
