  • It depends on the hours you work and you position.

    If you are a cashier for example, although it might say 4 weeks in your contract you can probably get away with giving only a weeks notice. I can understand if you are at manager level that the full 4 weeks is required. Baiscally, if you are a cashier you are replacebale almost instantly as it doesn't take myuch to train someone to replace you.

    With me I was a cashier at a rival supermarket. I had worked there 10 years, 2 days a week. Going on the staff hadbook, I had to give 10 weeks notice lol. I actually only gave a week but took my annual entitlement as part of my ntice. So effectively. I gave my notice on a Friday adn Saturday was my last day. I was driven out but didn't take further notice as I kinda wanted to leave anyway, but thats another story.

    yes unless specified in your contract it will be your period of pay.

    if you are paid monthly; then its a month.
    if you are paid weekly; then its a week.

    No it is not!

    It really does not help to post inaccurate information based on old wive's tales or popular myths.

    If it were not specified in the contract (although in this case it will be) the OP would only be obliged to give one week's notice regardless of how long he had worked there (assuming he had been employed for more than a month).

    The employer on the other hand would have to give one week's notice for each year of employment up to a maximum of 12.
