Handed notice in at work - Advice?
Comments

On the contract side of it, and I read it, and re-read it, and re-read that re reading lol. There's no notice period needed if you decide to leave within your first 3 months/probation period. After your first 3 months you are required to give a minimum of 2 weeks notice subject to managers discretion.
This is why they were fine with me leaving with no notice, it's pretty much just come down to the fact that they needed a letter in writing for their records and gear etc back. Rather than them needed time to find someone else etc.
They may be "fine with it", in which case this is academic, but the legal default if no notice period is specified (and you had been employed for more than a month) is one week.
They may of course forget that "they are fine with it" if you start suing them!0 -
Im a bit confused what the job is - which seems to be work at home / work offsite - where the majority of company property is clothing?0

I'm not currently able to send it at the snap of their fingers. Needs to be a bit of give and take from both parties in my opinion.
I think there was a lot of 'give' on the part of the former employer in allowing you leave without giving the required notice. At present there seems to be a degree of 'take' in the form of taking the **** on your part. You have a load of their equipment which you seem to think you can just return whenever it's convenient to you, but expect them to pay you when it is the only leverage they have to ensure the kit is returned at all.
Only suggestion I can make is to ask if somebody could meet with you at a midway point to transfer the kit.0 -

Me too. £65 to send a few tshirts back sounds excessive.
I wonder how the OP would feel if company employ a third party to come and collect it and deduct those costs on top of anything else they may owe - could easily cost more than the outstanding wage so firm could then claim via courts for their additional losses.Originally Posted by shortcrust
