haven't received a written contract

[mychel]

I have worked for the company for 7 months and have found another job starting in 9 days time. I haven't had a written contract. I get paid monthly do I have to give a months notice or is it just a week?

Hi There, Both Employers and Employees are subject to notice Requirements, As far as I know you will only have to give 1 Weeks Notice. This would increase to 2 Weeks after 2 years employment .
GOOD LUCK . ALLIGATOR

As you have no contract you dont have to give any notice. If you want to leave on a happy note one week's notice is all you need. Good luck.

An employer has no legal obligation to supply a written contract. However, they do have to supply 'written terms of particulars' within 2 months of your start date.
You have had a verbal contract from day 1, which is just as legally binding.
With regard to notice period, alligator is correct.
Technically, if you choose not to give notice, then they can sue you for breach of contract, but only for the difference it would cost them to replace you for your notice period

If you are not given the 'written terms of particulars' within 2 months, you can take them to empoyment tribunal
