Resignation notice

Ader1

I am still at the same place of work. I'm going to chat to another employer this week regarding possible employment at another company. I have in front of me the 'Indivicual Statement of Terms and Conditions of Employment'. I am interested in the amount of notice I will need to give if I am offered this other position and I find it suitable. It says that 'Notice due from the Employee to the Employer: one week during the probation period; thereafter one month'.

It does say that the probationary period is for six months. When I asked about this after six months were up, my manager said that it's often longer and she said how here probationary period lasted a year. From what I understand, none of the other employees who began the same time as me have been told that their probationary periods are over. The earlier mentioned document goes on to say 'If the company is satisfied that the probation period has been completed successfully, then the position will be confirmed as permantent'. I haven't been told anything to this effect. Other employees have told me they're rather keen on 'extended' probationary periods.

The document goes on to say ' If the Company is not satisfied that the probation period has been completed successfully, then the contract of employoment will be terminated either at the probation review meeting, or eariler if it is deemed necessary by the Company to terminate emplyment prior to the completion of the six mointh period'.

I haven't had a 'probation review meeting' even though I've been at the company for a whole year as of next week. Does that mean I'm still a 'probationer' and need only give them a week's notice?

I simply want to do things correctly and be able to tell my (possibly) new employer how much notice I need to give before beginning new employment.

Thank you.

1week. You could take the risk of asking when your next probation meeting will be.

Thanks. Not sure why I would want to do that?

To get you signed off. They are supposed to be quite regularly but they often get put on the back burner sadly
