Handing notice in
Show your support
yes i had 4 weeks annual leave and my notice period was 2 weeks so i was payed for the 4 weeks annual leave and then didn’t need to go back x
Also in the same position as you. I have a new job and used my accrued annual leave on the end of my May leave. I used my leave as my notice period so I didn’t have to work it. Drop HR an email hun xx
You should be clear to give whatever your standard notice period is but I would definitely recommend checking the contract thoroughly! You'll also have to check annual leave allowance etc too as you may end up owing them money if you take over your allowance etc.
@Kirsty I only received SMP
It will be stipulated in your mat leave contract and will also depend on whether you had occupational leave or SMP.
@tori-leigh so you were on annual leave for your full notice period? X
@Kiera I am using all my accrued holiday now to extend my return. My first day back will be 14th December x
i used up my annual leave and then handed in my notice as soon as annual leave had been accepted x
I’d put holiday requests in for the 4 weeks and then hand notice in, is that what you mean? Bear in mind if they are your holidays or what you’re due to accrue before end of tax year. You may have to pay them back if you haven’t accrued them yet I think xx
I work in HR but company contracts and policies can be different so do ask for copies if you can. Sounds like, if ive understood you correctly, if your leave allowance finishes before your notice ends, you will have to work. But to be fair, if it was me, I'd prob say don't bother
