Employment Notice period Help - UK please?
Hi there,
I've been in my current role since May 11th 2009, The contract I've signed has no notice period on it whatsoever, I never questioned this when I started. I'm paid a salary monthly.
I've given them my notice today, but I'm unsure as to what my notice period by law is? If I'm paid monthly, then shouldnt it be a months notice? The employer is claiming that because there is no notice/nothing mentioned on my contact that there is no notice period.
Can someone please clarify what's the situation.
Thanks
Your employer is wrong. If you have worked for your employer for more than one month, the legal minimum notice period you must give is one week.
Your employer must give you the minimum statutory notice period which if you have worked for them for between one month and two years is one week.
If you want to give more notice, that's fine but you are not legally obliged to.
If what you are saying is that they want you to leave immediately because there is no notice period in your contract, then they must pay you one weeks pay in lieu of notice. Just because it is omitted from your contract does not allow them to avoid statutory requirements.

A standard traffic lane is 11 or 12 feet wide.
Some states have full 12 foot shoulders. Others have 8 foot shoulder or a partial shoulder which is 4 foot paved width and the rest grass or gravel.
As for reference points, there is not a set beginning other than what is specified in engineering documents.
