Posted: 08:59 - 17 Aug 2017 Post subject: Handing in notice |
|
|
Not sure how to approach this. Whenever I've applied for jobs in the past I've always had to give a months notice which I think is pretty much the norm for a full time permanent job.
However I've just discovered in my current contract, because I've now been here for more than 2 years, I have to give 2 months notice.
a) Is this likely to affect my chance of getting a new job? As in, new employers won't be bothered to wait that long and will look at other applicants with a shorter notice period instead?
b) If I decided I only wanted to give 1 months notice (or even less), would I likely just be docked my last month or 2's wages or could they take me to court and sue for a lot more?
I would ask my HR dept to clarify and see what they say, but my bosses wife works there and I don't really want him knowing I'm looking round at this stage! ____________________ Previous: Aprilia Habana Retro 50cc (beauty), Yamaha SR125 (fell apart), Honda XR125 (nippy little commuter), Honda SLR650 (Geewhizz), Yamaha Diversion 900S (Smoooooth) written off courtesy of a stupid escaped horse.

My notice period was 3 months as well, and is again now at my new place. I did meet up with a former colleague, who tried to leave earlier than the full length of his notice, and he was told in no uncertain terms, it's would go to court if he did !
So, to be fair, be thankful you only have a '2' month notice period ! |
Altered that for you .
I work in IT as an Analyst, I'm classed in the lowest management bracket (not been in a management bracket before - maybe that's why I'm now on a 2 months notice period) but it's such a dead end position with no real career opportunities unless I want to move to the opposite end of the country where the head office is - which I don't.
There are positions I've seen around I could apply for with more money and hopefully better prospects, and as has been mentioned I can negotiate my notice period once I get an offer.
Thanks for the tips ____________________ Previous: Aprilia Habana Retro 50cc (beauty), Yamaha SR125 (fell apart), Honda XR125 (nippy little commuter), Honda SLR650 (Geewhizz), Yamaha Diversion 900S (Smoooooth) written off courtesy of a stupid escaped horse.

In the NHS, I'd have to give a month's notice but it increases the higher up the pay scale you are. IIRC for a Band 8 (senior manager level) it's 3 months. We've had applicants for new jobs who've had to work 3 months' notice and it has just been accepted as part and parcel of the faff that goes with staff turnover.
From the employers point of view, I've never heard anyone complain that they can't start a new employee for a month. That said, it is considered very bad form to not work a notice period, unless you have been such a thorn in their side that they're glad to have you out sooner and that is mutually agreed upon.
Lastly, lots of leavers from my organisation only end up working half of their notice period, as they take any leftover annual leave at the end of their post. ____________________ Current: 2009 SV650 S, 1990 Kawasaki GT550

Your value is likely to be more about who you know than what you know, right? The relationships you've built with the various ghouls and hyenas that make up the insurance industry (yourself excepted).
That's not much of a consideration for most sector 7G drones. I'm on 3 months notice, of which I take no notice, any more than the contractual term that prohibits me blabbing company secrets including my "know how". Yes, they actually tried to sneak that into the middle of a paragraph, to much amusement. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
