Feel free to call me stupid, but I thought that's what it meant.

"The first three months of your employment will be subject to a probationary period, which may be ended early with mutual agreement by you and your manager. During this time either party may provide one weeks notice. After the probationary period, if you terminate your employment for any reason, you must give one months' notice in writing."

During your probation, only one week is required on either side - they can sack you, but you'd have to be paid for the work done, plus a week. After that, you must provide a full month's notice to them.

It's not optional to give notice, 'may' refers to the shorter notice period during probation, and notes that they can exercise that right too. This is fairly basic working practice throughout most industries.

I think you will find that the advice you have been given on here has also been that you will get paid for the days you have worked plus the holiday hours you have earned.
Still, if you have a ton of spare cash to pay a specialist employment lawyer then I do wonder why you bothered asking the question on here?

Interesting, I was told by ACAS for the first 2 years of any new employment you really have not much by way of rights or protection

and... I'm in the same boat kind of as you - started new job this week and left after a day giving no notice - though am in no way expecting payment for hrs worked and actually wrote a cheque covering employer cost to an extent and feel so ashamed and guilty never mind anything else, but at least I won't have wasted anymore of that employers time (darn feelings!)

Fortunately, in a roundabout turn of events, the previous employer I'd just left of 3 months had me back, because I had worked notice for them, so it is all swings & roundabouts, and maybe I beat the record of quickest return!!! lol!

Hope you get it sorted, maybe the biggest payment is your no longer tied to something that wasn't working and you quit while you were ahead? at least if anything it wasn't more weeks later and after a week you won't have any CV fudging to do!

Legally you have a right to be paid for the time you have worked at company, on the basis that you have provided goods or services without receiving consideration for those goods or services, so a liability exists from the perspective of your ex employer. Simple as that. Do a small claims online to get your money. Wasn't hard to not get on the sanctimony wagon today was it folks?
