If you've only started they probably won't want to give you a full month's pay and will be only too happy to take shorter notice.

If you're talking about down the line.. one month's notice is standard. Any shorter should only be by agreement. They will give a bad reference (over the phone, obviously) if you leave them in the lurch or leave on bad terms.
