Notice of termination

    I was given my 2 weeks notice 1st May that I was finishing up on the 15th May (although the boss said there may be more work after this date depending on if certain tasks/jobs were finished)

    Its now the 21st May and im stay working (all be it part time, which I've being doing for the last 2/3 months) And I most probably will be in next week too and even the week after that.

    So my question: Does the boss have to give me another letter with 2/1 weeks notice? I presume the answer is yes?

    So this would be great news as this would take me to 2 years continuous employment, happy days!

    Employer legislation gives "Minimum period of notice" normally 2 weeks which you have been given at this stage. I suppose any further time you work is a bonus ...

    Any redundancy entitlements are based on your termination date not the notice date.

    If you worked less than 2 years then he can give you 1 week notice. Between 2 and 4 years its 2 weeks notice.

    If you are still employed by him after notice is given, then he will have to give you notice again after that to terminate you contract of employment!

    I hope you get a bit of dundy by the way!

    Query: an employee who worked for me for 2 years left and worked elsewhere for a year and returned and has been working for me for 16 months what minimum notice do i have to give him? is it one week? or two?

    AFAIK its 2 years continuos unbroken employment thats required - but I stand to be corrected

    I'd imagine since your employee left and broke their service the new employment starts and they have only worked 16months, so 1 weeks should be enough.

    The notice period in the contract of employment will take precedence over the statutory notice period, as long as the contract doesn't give a shorter notice period.
