Etiquette when giving Notice

    Hi guys,

    Just a quick one for you guys.

    I've been offered a new position which I am going to accept.

    As I am still in the 6 month probation period with my current job, I am not required to give any notice.

    The new job requires 2 work references, one of which I've already cleared with my previous boss.

    In regards to the current job and reference, do I notify my current line manager/hr and recruitment manager of my intentions to leave and that they should expect a call?

    Also, do I work the remainder of this week as common courtesy (typically I agreed to do my boss a favour and work the night shift this week which isnt my shift at all :p)

    Any help appreciated!

    You don't have to give notice, but it would be a courtesy to your current employer, if you want a reference then at least work the week out.

    You might want to start by asking if they will give you a reference. As you are on probation they may not wish to do so.

    Could you get a reference elsewhere? I wouldn't want to have to rely on my current place of employment.
