Will my employers agree to say they let me go?

    My employers will let me go soon: but not soon enough.

    They will keep me, I predict, for another month. I want out. Will they agree to say they let me go, if I give in my notice soon?

    Or is this...dodgy?

    Did you ask them?

    They are the only ones who can answer that question.

    You could always try the "look, I know I will be let go in January, how about I just go now?", or words to that effect - offering to go a month early to save them a few bob (dedicated employee that you are !!). That wouldn't be handing in your notice so you would't have to worry about it :)

    It's a bit dodgy. Also, if you walk now, you will probably lose any redundancy that was coming. If you suspect the amount of redundancy to be less than 50k then you might as well wait it out.

    One of the reasons they may not want to make you redundant now (which is what you'd need if you're planning on claiming the dole - which I why I presume you've asked this question in here) is that
    a) they then can't rehire someone to do the job you're doing
    b) they may have to pay you a redundancy payment.

    If they were planning on letting you go for any reason other than cutbacks they may be unwilling to do so. If you think you're going to be let go due to cutbacks, and if there is no current useful work for you to do, then talk to them about garden leave, or paying you a month in lieu of notice.

    If I was you I'd try to last it out the month and try to get something else lined up in the meantime.
