You do have to give notice.
Would you be happy if they sacked you without notice?
Employers do this all the time, without giving any reason. I have seen it done to other, good workers, and it has been done to me three times (I assume because my employers did not like me applying the rules which he was bound to follow - they were basically criminals), so why should employees be forced to endure a month's notice if doing so would harm their health, or negatively affect their chances of getting another job?0 -

Just because some of the posters on here can have cosy chats with their employer; doesn't mean the rest of society can or that we all have a job for life/many years of job guarantee, no matter what.
Perhaps they've even made their employer's life that bit easier?!
If you've never been in this situation - Easy. Just don't comment.
Great post, you are living in the real World:beer:0 -
I would just send them an email confirming that you have resigned. No need to send them a physical letter. It only takes 30 seconds.
Other posters said there is no obligation on them to give you an employment contract. That is true, but they did have a legal obligation to give you a written statement of employment particulars within 2 months of starting.0 -
A lot of people are saying they can't do anything to you. Incorrect. If you don't give the required notice period, you can be taken for breach of contract. How likely are they to do this, probably not, but theres always a chance. Whether or not you got a written contract, there is a contract in place.
If it was me, I would give the notice period, and the go off on the sick...I believe you mentions stress in the earlier posts.0 -

No-one likened you to that at all. They were just pointing out that the vast majority of employers would be wary of some one who walked out of a previous job without notice in the same way that the vast majority of people would not be pleased if they walked in dog pooh.loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.0 -

I doubt it - the manager will not want me back, repeating to members of staff some of the stuff she has said to me. I'm happy to think she's sh1tt1ng a brick thinking I'm going to make some sort of formal complaint - it's funny how quickly the freezer door has been fixed!:rotfl:0 -

Oh please!!
Look at the general nasty tone of the initial responses!
Was there any need for any of it?0 -

Suing you for breach of contract does NOT mean that they want you back. It could even be just an easy way for them to make money. And, more justifiably, to offset any costs they incur as a result of being a staff member short with no notice.
Have you actually sent your notice letter/email?Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).0 -
