Gardening leave!

Jellybean2020 · 2019-04-24 09:33:33

hey everyone so I am new to the forum and I therefore hope I have put all of this in the right place!! I was fortunate enough to be offered a new job so duly handed in my notice with my current employer. They put me on gardening leave 7 days after handing in my notice and I have approx 3 weeks left to go until I am 'free'…

If you are on garden(ing) leave then the employer shouldn't care if you are in the garden or on the beach in Tenerife.

Breach of contract if you swan off on holiday.

You could be called back in at any time and be expected to turn up within a reasonable time.
