I agree with the posts above and would just add that technically notice begins the day after it is issued.

Take reasonable steps to get it to somebody senior in the company, keep a certificate of posting etc. Beyond that it is not your problem.

However, that said, if they don't like it and want to be difficult, maybe expect a bit of difficulty getting your final pay which should of course include payment for any untaken holiday you have accrued. If necessary you can pursue this, which is why I suggest you keep some proof of posting and / or electronic read receipts for any messages you send.

If you have taken more holiday than you have accrued they are of course entitled to recover this from your final pay.

If they have the correct clause in the contract otherwise an illegal deduction from wages.

Yes, but in the real world that doesn't actually prevent them from doing it and ultimately the money is still owed.........

Without the clause there is no debt.
