working my full notice period

wasn't there a thread about a month ago where the poster was being sued because she failed to work her contractual notice?

Oh and if you think UK based firms are bad for employee relations then the US ones are much for hiring and firing.

Yes there was. I remember it as several people here said that the compauny was probably bluffing when they threatened to sue. The OP got a writ shortly after that! I never heard what happend. I presume they lost the case.

reading all the posts it's best if I talk to...

1. the recruiting company/new employer and see if I can delay my start date a week.
2. My current boss and ask to finish a week early - use my 5 days of acrued holiday is that's possible


then......give it a few months and look into my contract regarding the unpaid bonus

Yes, good idea. Be sorry to inconvenience them all and so on. Play the game and you'll get what you want. You know, "is it at all possible if I take the 5 days owing me now?" And then when you've got what you wanted you can laugh.
