I am not from UK, what the legal implication for doing this ??

Answer 1

Having read the other answers do not worry about breaking your contract. Employers almost never sue - they have to prove that they have suffered financial loss.
However, even if you cannot face a face-to-face discussion, then do write - and claim any outstanding pay, holiday pay and anything else due. It does not hurt to ask.
It would be helpful to your employee if you could indicate your reasons. However if, as some employers unfortunately are, they are unapproachable (or worse) cut your losses and move on to "greener fields".
Very good luck for the future - if you need more help please ask.

Answer 2

They would probably call you at home and the emergency contact person you gave when you filled in all the HR paperwork. After that week they would probably write to you terminating your contract for gross misconduct and therefore would not have to pay you any notice. They would still have to pay you for the work that you have done though. You would never be able to give this company as a reference. Your best bet is to get a job with a direct competitor - chances are they will ask you to leave immediately for fear of your stealing company secrets and taking them to a competitor, in this case they will ask you to leave immediately and will have to pay you in lieu of notice.

Answer 3

Technically yes, but you will want to say something to ensure that you are not abandoning your job (this can result in them firing you, even if in your mind you have quit). A written resignation is best, because it proves that you quit (instead of being fired), and ensures that they know that you have quit. Unless you have a contract stating that you must give notice before quitting, you don't have to give any notice, you can quit on the spot if you like. The problem with this is that they probably won't hire you back, so if your next employer asks them if you are eligible for rehire, they will probably say no. As for the reference, they will probably not do more than confirm that you work there, if you quit without notice.

Answer 4

You'd be in breach of contract by not giving stipulated notice before quitting. Should the employer wish to do so they could sue you for any losses incurred as a result in the county court. Unlikely, but not impossible.

Answer 5

If you have signed a contract with your employer they can take you to court. If not then there is no legal implication.

Dont expect to get paid and money owed to you though, and cerrtainly dont expect a reference.

Answer 6

Be an adult about it, and go to him and just quit. You'll look like a loser if you just disappear. A mature person would go talk to the boss and be straight with him/her.

Answer 7

go walk like a man, becareful the you are not taking any secured information with you, but go to him and just say im sorry i cannot work here any more , for personel reasons and then about face and ta ta

Answer 8

its common manners to leave and work your notice, and im sure in your contract you have to give notice, but the worse they can do is not give you a reference, it also depends if you need a visa to work

Answer 9

Sure you can. It's very unprofessional though to do that, and don't ever expect a reference from them.
