    What it says on the tin ^^
    I've been working in a shop for two weeks as a second job and want to leave asap. If I ring up tomorrow and say I'm leaving, have they the right to not pay me my wages I'm owed for last week and this week?

    Don't think so. I would imagine your employer will have to pay you for whatever hours you've worked.

    Hope this helps!

    They have to pay you , but if they incur costs as a result of you not working your notice they can sue you. unlikely to happen but its a possibility.

    Give a weeks notice, let them get someone in.

    Ask yourself this: in the current climate, do you want to burn bridges? Give a weeks notice, say it's not working out (blame yourself, not the job). Why? So if your "actual" job fails in the future, you have some hope of getting back into the shop job. Burn bridges, blame the job, and you may regret it at a later date.

    Not correct. They are only there 2 weeks so no notice period applies.

    Thanks for replies everyone.
    Handed in notice today, only have a few hours this week so think I can hack it for just a few more days.

    Depends on the terms of the employment contract (if any). If there is no written contract, then you're right, the statutory notice applies. Most contracts stipulate a week to a months notice but the only recourse for the employer is to sue, which isn't practical.
