https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/30949/notice-period-advice--help Hi Guys, Just looking for a little advice... I have been working at a new practice for three weeks now and I&#39;m very unhappy. When I was interviewed for the position a few things were withheld from me e.g. how often we&#39;re placed on call, the facten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/171300?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 29 Jan 2018 18:29:39 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:12f31335-4ab9-42b1-a6ac-de241fdc50d2r-more<p>Hi</p> <p>The notice period required (by either party) is the longer of the contractual notice OR statutory notice. If you don&rsquo;t give the required notice, it would be deemed breach of contract, however, most employers are unlikely to do anything about it (as it&rsquo;s not likely to get them anything). The best thing would be to give notice and ask for a week, they might say yes! If they don&rsquo;t, then you could could consider how to proceed.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/171293?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 29 Jan 2018 11:20:11 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:46a7db75-aa9d-4a38-b9af-79aa5e3e2650Alison Clare Hickman<p>hiya, aw am sorry things haven&#39;t worked out for you&nbsp;<img src="/emoticons/new/Confused_smiley.png" alt="Confused" /> but glad you are sorted with another job already.<img src="/emoticons/new/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Very Happy" /></p> <p>If you&#39;ve worked less than one month you don&#39;t even need to give Statutory Notice of a week, you can resign on the spot.&nbsp;</p> <p>Unless there is a clear written clause in your contract of employment stating what penalties will be imposed in the case of not working a full notice period then there is nothing the employer can do about it.&nbsp;</p> <p>The employer must pay you for the hours you have worked up to date of leaving. They cannot deduct anything (see above).</p> <p>Hope this helps and my best wishes.</p> <p>Ali h</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
