Notice period entitlement

Nick9999

I have just handed my notice into my current employer, giving them 3 weeks notice.  The following day he turned around to me and said that I might as well finish on Sunday (3 days later).  I have worked for the business for over 3 years; but still don't have a written contract/ or statement of employment!
I have requested that I be kept on the books/ furlough until my notice is over as my new employer can not start me any earlier - this would leave me over 2 weeks without any pay/ money.
What are my rights/ entitlement to my notice pay/ furlough, etc.
Help would be appreciated - thanks in advance 🙂

AIUI you have to come of furlough for paid notice, remember reading that somewhere so needs checking?

Statutory employee notice is 1 week  where did you get 3 weeks from?

if you have contractual notice of 3 weeks then you can refuse the offer of early termination and they should still pay you

Having been employed for over 3 years you are entitled to receive 3 weeks' notice.  Though you should have been provided with written particulars it doesn't make any difference to your legal entitlement to those 3 weeks.  (If you didn't have anything in writing, you could have just given one week's notice - but that doesn't change the fact that they cannot shorten the notice they give without your agreement.)

If they want to give notice, they certainly need to pay at 100%.  If you have taken more paid holiday (paid at 100%) than accrued up to the time of the end of your employment, they can deduct the over-payment.  If you would have accrued more than taken, they can give you notice to take it during your notice period or pay you instead in addition.

If the employee only needs to give 1 weeks notice but gives 3 weeks, can the employer simply accept handing in of notice but shorten to 1 week (if that makes sense).  If they can do that the OP is still entitled to the full one week notice pay, not just 3 days.
