Notice Peroid

Al_Ross

When I started my job 3.5 years ago I was taken on with a 6 month contract and my notice period was 1 week. I got kept on under the same contract. If I Leave now how much notice do I need to give my employer

After 2y working for same employer on same contract, you become full time employee.
You need to check your HR site for notice periods for full time employee, usualy 1 month.
Hope you also used your work pension scheme, for some free money.

The company would want me to give a months notice, but if my only contract states 1 week, would I get away with that?

Read your contract. 

It's not uncommon for the notice you have to give to change over time but it will be prescribed in the contract. For example my last perm contract was 1 month during probation and 3 months after passing probation. 

The notice they have to give you is longer, it would be 3 weeks given your service, but there is no requirement for the notice periods to be symmetrical.

Indeed.

However, just to add, if the OP's contract is silent about much notice he needs to give then the legal default is just one week regardless of length of service.

I would put something along the lines of "In accordance with my contract of employment I am giving 1 weeks notice....."

. . . and remember that the one week starts on the day after you appropriately deliver the notice, however early in the day that is.

Do you mean permanent rather than full-time, as the OP hasn’t said how many hours a week they work?
