Started PT Job in Feb - Found out I need to leave in June.

DannyWhoWorks

Hey

I have a part time job which I started early feb. Due to personal reasons, I now have to leave at the end of june.

Firstly, I was wondering legally, how much notice do I need to give? and secondly, what happens to holiday pay I am entitled too? I have taken no holidays since I have started.

Thank you.

You'd need to read your contract. Usually it would go in line with how often you're paid, so monthly pay = month's notice, weekly pay = week's notice.

They might have something in the contract that disallows you from using your holiday to cover your notice period.

You will get your holiday pay on top of your earned pay, in your last wage slip.

Hey thanks. I have never signed a contract for this job. I get paid monthy, so I take it 4 weeks notice would be Ok? and thanks for your information regarding the holiday pay.

Regardless of whether you have signed a contract have you had written information of the job, whether it be a handbook or a contract.

If so then those will apply as by working you have agreed to those terms. If not then statutory applies which will be 1 week.

As Takeaway_Addict says, you should have been given written particulars of your employment. Those form part of your contract. (An employment contract does not have to be signed by anyone.)

Though pay periods often go hand-in-hand with notice periods required from an employee, this is not a legal requirement. You need to look at what it says in your written particulars about notice periods - often less in the first few months of employment than it is later.

Given your length of time with them right now, they are due for at least one week's notice (that is the law for the minimum notice period to which they are entitled but those written particulars can legally require more).
