Handing in Notice Query

42 Posts


Hello.
I have found a new job and plan to hand in my notice on Friday the 26th of August. However, my line Manager will be away from Wednesday the 24th of August. I need the hand in notice date to be the 26th of August as I start my new position on the 26th of September.
Can you provide any suggestions on what I can do?
Thank you in advance.

Unless your contract of employment specifies your notice has to be in writing to your immediate manager, then you could deliver the notice to a more senior manager or HR. However, I would be inclined to hand in my notice towards the end of 24 August, specifying your last day of employment as 25 September.
Depending on how your employer calculates leaving pay, it might make no difference to your pay whether your last working day was even Friday, 23 September. Do you normally work on Saturdays and Sundays?
