How Much Notice

pdunno

HI all,

I'm probably about to quit my job which I hate. I started about 6 months ago, initially on trial period but made permanent after about 6 weeks or so. No my plan is to go back to my previous company, they're keen to have me on board ASAP to take quite a senior role.

Now how much notice do I need to give? Standard 4 weeks or seen as I'm only here 6 months can I give less notice?

as a rule of thumb it goes by how often your paid.. weekly, 1 weeks notice.. monthly, 1 month ect. Unless you've signed a contract saying otherwise.

If your working in any sort of professional capacity I presume you have a contract? If so I'm sure it's covered in there.

If not then as per Irish Law http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA4Y1973.html

( a ) if the employee has been in the continuous service of his employer for less than two years, one week,

As stated above, read your contract. At a guess, based on what I've seen in industry, I would say that you were probably subject to one weeks notice during your probation and four weeks (or a calendar month) notice now.

Also note that you can (kindly) ask your current employer to waiver your notice, just say if it is 4 weeks.
You may both come to an agreement here if you leaving sooner wont affect the company in any way / training and a handover can take place in a shorter period etc..

good luck with your situation
