Saved from Redundancy but working hours cut.

Nickilin66

Hi

I hope someone can help?

My company recently made redundancies but I was not one of them. We did however, to save some, all volunteer to work 4 day weeks from January.

We have a 3 months notice period and I am now trying to find another job but this is putting people off. What are the chances of them holding me to this if I do get a job and want to leave in a month?

Someone help, I don't want to be in breach of contract but this stupid notice period is crazy.

Thanks.

Nobody but the employer can answer that. Some take a hard line, others don't. I'd think that they might be happy to save the money for your wages, but that's a guess...

where I work, managers and senior staff have to give 6 months notice to leave !!!!!

Why didn't you negotiate a lower notice period as part of the agreement to cut hours?
