Resignation - huh!?

bringitdown

I resigned my post, giving 2 months notice (1 month required).

Understanding that the company was stretched and my loss wouldn't help with this I said that "within reason" I would be flexible with the date ... for me within reason is one - two months assuming the right incentives are there for me to remain on during that time.

Now that was it - have heard nothing back, work trundles on.

I plan on making travel commitments (taking some time out) quite soon and don't want to hang around on this.

Upshot: From a 'legal' POV as far as I know my original date as per my resignation letter stands am I correct in saying that?

Noone is indispensible and they probably have a replacement lined up for you already.
Stick to the date on the letter.

Sorry, I've no legal advise

Agreed not indispensible - but inconvenient!

Been digging about and found this: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/employment/starting-work-and-changing-job/changing-job/giving_notice

I think it answers my question, thanks anyway...

Legally, do work have to pay you the months notice even though they tell you to leave when you hand in your notice?

Yep, it's called gardening leave
