handing in your notice...
12 Answers
Just a quick question.
If you are required to give 2 weeks notice - is that the MINIMUM amount of time only. Ie could you in fact give one month's notice if you wanted to but the employer couldn't insist you need to leave within two weeks?
The employee in question has been with the firm 3 years and needs to hand her notice in, wants to give 1 month so that she can tie up all loose ends but doesn't want the bosses to out her 2 weeks early as she needs the full wage packet.

The employer cannot make someone leave their job before their notice period ends, but they can refuse to accept the longer notice period and insist on the minimum. Most companies wuld make a decision on that based on their situation financially and from a recruitment point of view. Most decent businesses would appreciate a longer notice period you would assume as it is time consuming task to have to asvertise, screen and interview for any position.
In the "old days! you had to give notice according to how you were paid. If you were paid weekly, you gave a week`s notice. If you were paid monthly, you gave a month`s notice. Nowadays according to how specialised your profession is, you may give more but I would have thought if your employer states how much notice you should give, then you would work out that notice
