Did anyone else read the thread title expecting a girl telling us of her issues?
Maybe it depends on the position. I know my mom-in-law includes it on hers but she is a Managing Director with a 6 month notice period.
An employer can decline a holiday request with good reason, so it's a potential issue.If you have 13 days holiday then why is this even an issue, just take the last 2 weeks (10 days) as holiday?
Dear Big Bad Boss Man
I am writing to confirm I am resigning from my position as chief well digger
I have decided that it is time to move on and have accepted a position elsewhere.
My contract of employment requires me to work here for a further 4 weeks from the day I give notice. However, I wish to request that you release me at an earlier date because my new employer wishes me to start on the *insert date*
I wish both you and Well Diggers R Us Ltd every good fortune and I would like to thank you for having me as part of your team.
Yours sincerely,
Thanks Steameh.
Thats what I am about to do, although i really wish i wasn't. I don't think that my former employer would do much, i think they are perhaps just disappointed, not much they can do tbh
Let us know how it goes.
Technically they can sue but the chances of that happening are slim unless you are costing them money by leaving early.
UPDATE:
Well, my boss got back to me saying he needed me to stay as he wants to do a handover for the new employee.
I can't really do that, it really wouldn't be *THAT* hard to replace me, and besides they would only give me a week if they wanted to get rid of me, according to the contract
How odd, its been on the majority of the ones we get in.
