Handing in notice

    Afternoon all,

    Just wondered about notice rights here in Ireland.

    I'm going to be handing in my notice at my current job at the end of this month. I work in sales and in my previous jobs in the UK, when you hand in you notice you leave almost most straight away, and are then paid for the month. I guess they do this so that you don't bring the company in diss-repute, or put clients off. Not that I would, as I'm not 10 years old, and I have no grievance with my employer, or company. Its just time to move on.

    So from experience of those handing notice in. Did you work the month, or get sent on your way.

    If you could say job you were in, as it may differ.

    Thanks in advance,

    Phil

    In sales I think you will find that they will accept your notice and put you on "garden leave". That is go home, stay home, you still work for them so you get paid as normal until your notice period is up, you may not work for anybody else in the meantime.

    generally from my own experience it depends on your contract, the standard being one months. I've always worked out the month, using any holidays I've left to leave before then if possible. Never been in a job where I leave straight away and get paid out for the month, would be nice though :)

    I work in IT btw, suppose if I wanted to I could seriously mess things up before leaving but why would I? Only reason I could see for being asked to leave straight away is if you were in a serious dispute with management, could understand being asked to leave straight away in that case.

    If you are going to a direct competitor then expect to be put on garden leave, otherwise most companies will get you to work your notice.

    Notice periods varying from contract to contract, most common is one month.

    Put your understood notice period in your letter to them to avoid confusion.

    Are you paid weekly or monthly by any chance?Whats in your contract?
