Hating my job no contract has been signed but want to leave without 30 days notice

silentloner

oh and 3 of those 20 days are to be at christmas.

OK, being practical rather than legal for a moment....

If you are really sure you don't want a reference and are so fed up you want to leave come what may.

The options are....

Give a weeks notice but go sick (stress). Without written contract you would be able to self certify for 5 days.;)

Commit an act of gross misconduct (probably by phone or email if you don't want to go in). You may have some fun telling the boss his shortcomings, then move on to his parentage and personal habits!!!:p

Compile a list of evey possible complaint and grievance then offer to drop them if they waive their right to notice.:mad:

The second one would of course have the advantage that you could claim benefits as soon as you are sacked.:T

None are what you might call honourable or proper but only you know how you feel.:rotfl:

If you really feel so bad about the place the first one is within reason:A

20 days per year equates to 0.38 days per week, meaning that as we are in week 11 of the year you would have accrued approx 4.5 day after you had given a weeks notice.

Very rough and ready, but you owe him about 8 days pay - the £100 you have been underpaid.

If you want to hand in your notice, hand in a letter giving one weeks notice and wait for a response. In the current economic situation they might well be glad to be rid of you quickly (nothing personal intended).

Just edited to add that; yes you have to pay him back, and yes small claims court would rule it so. You could offer to pay it back in installments, but in all fairness they will be within their rights to take it from your last months pay in the same way they would pay you for any holidays you had accrued but not taken.

On a more serious note the statutory minmum amount of holiday is 24 days (which can include bank holidays) so this is two days per month.

What good is a contract if you have one without signing one

I cant believe the situation I am in.

It usually works in your favour rather than your employer's favour: eg without a contract your employer cannot demand that you give a month's notice (because the statutory minimum is a week with your length of service). Crucially, I am not sure that he can recover your overpaid holiday unless you have signed a contract to say that he can recover overpayments from you. However you can probably wave goodbye to the £100 you say he owes you. Do you think it is possible that it was deducted because you had not yet accrued (earned) that much holiday so early in the year? Many employers do not allow paid leave within the first six months (and if he'd given you a contract it might say as much!)

Have a look at the ACAS website for 'written terms and conditions' and see what you learn there.

You must have GCSE maths or its equivalent if you're planning to teach - surely with a calculator you can divide this by 52, and then by the number of days you work each week?

Actually, hopefully even WITHOUT a calculator you could do this. There's always an Excel spreadsheet.

If you can't, please re-consider your vocation ...
