A lass who I job share with has just phoned in to say she isn't coming in at all and is quitting. She should have been there at midday. Personally I think this is a bit shabby, as it's landed the other members of the crew in it.
What's the shortest notice people here have given? |

I agree, that's shabby. People who do this don't realise that it's their fellow workers who they land in the poo and not the bosses.
I've always given my full notice, as it should be. |

I have always given at least a weeks notice in all jobs I have had, even now I am self employed I still like to give a weeks notice of unavailability to a company I might be driving for at the time |

I have always given the required amount but when I took early retirement and voluntary redundancy earlier this year they paid me in lieu of three months notice so I got one day effectively.
Mr N was once made redundant with five minutes notice which was horrible.
I agree that phoning to say you aren't coming back is a bit off although it can depend on circumstances. |

Ask the folk at city link if its shabby as companies can do it without any redress and to do it xmas eve is shameful.
But back to the question in ideal world yes give notice but her circumstances may mean she could not. |

I've always given a month's notice, but have been given garden leave the past two times due to moving to a competitor. The extra four weeks holiday is great  |

I cleared my desk and walked out.
I have done this 3 times now.
I stand by each and every one of them.
In each instance, they had adequate notice that things weren't right.
Some employers take liberties.
Some employers won't listen to reason.
Some employers have a bad business and cannot afford to implement the changes required.
Some employers just can't be arsed. |

no notice is required from either party in my line of work ..... if a company treats me with respect on a contract then i show some loyality, but then there has been times when i've ended up working for some right tin-gods. At which point i get my standard resignation with imediate effect letter out of the glove box of the car, fill in the date and sign it, then hand it to the boss,tell him he's a twat and to fuck off, then leave. |

Always had to give my full notice, it's long enough for a bit of sensible negotiation. The place where I work employs a fair few contractors who are allowed to go with a week at most times but that's swings and roundabout for both parties. |

That's shitty. I've always given the required notice. At my place of work some people have to give 3 months notice though. This I find unreasonable. |

Probably not even the employer.
If the Administrator has been called in, it's their job to wind things up.
Staff are probably the biggest cost.
Orange phones used to use City link in Eastleigh. Personally I found them unhelpful. |

"I've always given a month's notice as I thought it's a legal requirement to give at least one wage period notice. It'd have to be something serious for me to just not show up"
It depends on your contract. If your contract is silent, then it is reasonable notice, which is up to interpretation. |

As with most things in life it is quid pro quo. If your employer and/or colleagues treat you fairly and with respect you treat them likewise. If not, you owe them nothing. Unfortunately, some employers think they are doing you a favour by employing you, when the reality is that it is a business arrangement whereby they pay you for the skills you have to offer them.  |
