@Helena so if I were to hand my notice in next week… but had to give 2 months notice, I wouldn’t be able to start a new job within those 2 months? Do you know what would happen if I were to leave immediately ? Or does that depend on the company? Sorry! X
I think if you start a new job while receiving SMP it stops your payments too so there’s that to consider.
@Shannon ah yeah I was aware of that, but that’s why I need to go back to work.. as I could earn more. We’re struggling with just getting SMP and my partners wage, and the cost of living is really taking a toll. I don’t want to go back to where I work currently due to the company being very unprofessional and breaching GDPR and confidentiality policies and procedures. Hence why I want to leave immediately and start somewhere else. :)
Thats fair enough!
You might be able to use any accrued annual leave to cover your notice period
