Interesting article.

I note they write, "Notice Period - Statutory notice is set at one week for every year of employment, to a maximum of 12 weeks (for 12 years' service). If you have signed a contract for a longer period than this, you are entitled to renegotiate to a more reasonable length - this is best approached in the resignation meeting."

Given that the article is about resigning rather than being sacked, the reference to statutory notice is misleading because the statutory notice for the employee to give remains at one week however long the employment and has no real relevance to renegotiation of a contractual notice period,

You gave notice before given an official offer, rather than one subject to references? That was a dangerous thing to do despite your haste to get out. They are now holding you at ransom in that they could decide not to give you a satisfactory reference that could influence your final offer with this new job.

How can I get references off my boss without telling them I am leaving? If my boss was a kind and understanding person, I would tell them in advance, heck I would stay and work for them.

The references are in the form of their contact details that should be passed on to the new company. And I never had any intention of leaving badly; still don't.

You're leaving so who really cares.

Worse case scenario you're going to get a month on gardening leave which isn't the end of the world as it's basically a free holiday.

Your employer will support the manager who is staying at the company. They're not going to care about a guy who is leaving in four weeks.

I would turn up on Monday and see what happens but be prepared to be going home.

Just make sure you get everything that is due to you financially.

Okay I have 4 weeks notice that I am willing to work. Plus 7 days holidays. Can they deduct holidays from the notice? My new job does not start until 4 weeks, so I would be out of pocket if they didn't pay the notice.

So, having cases of disciplinary actions in your reference is deemed as not bad?

Of course it would be - but in the context of this thread the OP has already said that he has a clean HR record.

Because the job offer is likely to be subject to satisfactory references. So can still be withdrawn. Personally, I wouldn't hand my notice in until all the hoops have been jumped through. Unless I was desperate to get out. I'd warn my boss or HR to expect the request, but wouldn't give notice till I'd got the firm offer. As a general rule.
Depending on your annual leave year, and what you've taken/are still owed, your pay packet will be adjusted accordingly.

No - they will need to pay you for your notice period plus any holidays due but not taken.

Ok,


New manager Dec 2014
Problems with satisfaction(is this new or old problem
HR review.

There is stuff going on exit interviews are often a good way for companies to uncover the underlying issues if the employees leaving are objective.

Don't burn bridges IT is a very small world, people move and progress and recruit.

Good people migrate to the better employers over time.

No they can insist that the remaining holiday is taken within the notice period.

You should count on normal contractual basic pay for your notice period.

If you are not required to work that notice then do not expect any additional pay for holiday accrued up to the date of leaving. However they should actually tell you that some of any forced absence is indeed holiday as otherwise you would be due to receive it in addition.

If they want to terminate with PILON they need to pay the accrued unused holiday upto the termination date.

If they use garden leave then they could within the notice rules for holiday or any contractual requirement use up some/all of the holiday.
