Employment law when resigning

Curious Geroge

Hopefully this is the right forum to ask this question. I have a question on employee rights when resigning. In employment over 12 months as a full time employee. Employment contract stated that either party must provide "at least 1 months written notice of termination" so due to holiday period I provided 60 days notice to be fair to my employer. My employer cut employment at 30 days saying it was there right. I'm not sure what is the law here, but wanted to get advice if that was allowed or am I due lost income ? Anyone know the law here or recommend who can I contact to confirm as employer did not acknowledge there was an issue with this. Thanks in advance.

Your contract stated 30 days, you gave 60, they said 30 was adequate. No laws broken as far as I can see. You're not entitled to anything over this.

I can't see how that's correct. If a company is providing notice of dismissal, they must have valid grounds (competency, capability, redundancy etc.), as well as adhering to the minimum period

An employee providing leaving notice is only bound by a minimum period. There is no maximum. If I tell my boss I'm moving to New Zealand in 18 months time, they cannot let me go in 30 days purely because I have given a long notice.

@Curious Geroge, IMO you're entitled to the full 60 days. They can request that you don't come in for the second 30, but would still need to pay you. If they're trying to end your employment before then, they need to have valid grounds to do so - whether you gave notice or not is irrelevant

As above.

would need to see the notice provided by the employee, and the employment contract, but on the information provided employee giving additional notice should present no issue. You may well be entitled to wages for the period outstanding.
