Not giving enough notice
I've just looked at my current contract and they're asking for four weeks notice. What happens if I only give them one week? Will they not pay me my holiday entitlement or wages?

Contract work

Would you skive work to attend an interview?
I have been with my company for some time but they made a lot of redundancies recently (I am told I am safe) and this has worried me despite their reassurances.
