https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/30614/notice-period-and-new-practice-concerns I have recently handed in my notice at my current practice where I have worked for some time. Most of my colleagues are friends and are really happy for me, and very supportive, however I have been inundated with other members of staff telling me continuousen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/169417?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:40:15 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:80fd6b36-7a16-4077-bc80-05bca81946acAlison Clare Hickman<p>Yes, by mutual consent. Otherwise, no I have always worked it, admittedly with my head well down to keep out of the way at one or two places</p> <p>Suggestion; get a meeting set up with boss / PM / whomever is in charge and tell them what you are experiencing and how it makes you feel. That you don&#39;t want to trouble them by shortening your notice period as a result but that you may have no choice due to the stress it causes. Say if your presence is causing difficulties then perhaps by mutual consent you can both agree to shorten it. Win-win. Clearly you would need to agree on what you would be paid (for the hours worked only as a minimum).&nbsp;</p> <p>See attached link. Some sections relevant to you. In summary, most employers don&#39;t do much, if anything, apart from pay you up to the point of leaving, if you leave mid-notice period (unless there us something explicit in your contract).</p> <p>Don&#39;t settle for being treated like cr*p. You don&#39;t deserve it. It isn&#39;t fair. Communicate your feelings politely and respectfully but DO communicate them - perhaps a positive result will follow as a result☺&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.landaulaw.co.uk/notice/">http://www.landaulaw.co.uk/notice/</a></p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
