Are holding me to a 3 month notice period. Must have not noticed that when I TUPED across. Thought it was a month. 3 month notice periods are normally for senior management. Oh well if they are holding me to it I shall need to work out how to get sacked or released early. Any ideas??
Get a sick line from your GP Or work a months notice and leave...most companies will just sack you after you have left. This won't show up on any reference as it can't be dislosed. Some may sue you for breach, but more hassle than it worth.
You're a brave soul, asking on here for career advice!. Just leave. If you explain the scenario to your new employers, it's in their interest to have you in place when needed. A more colourful option would be to 'crack-on' to one of your bosses wives/girlfriends. People hate that **** and will find a way to get shot of you.
Ask to bang the most attractive secretary over her desk. You either: i) get a superb shag, or ii) sacked It's a no-lose situation.
Hmmmmm, I like the cut of your jib. I'll probably just rape her though and some time in sing sing and get the best of everything, great food, great amenities, a phd, free internet service, regular compensation rewards and live off the ****in public and be as fit as a fiddle when I get out after 2 years for keeping my cell nice and tidy and presentable.
Just show up every day and do **** all. Fritter the hours away talking to nut-jobs on internet forums. Oh, hang on...
References are worth **** all ... all companies are allowed to do is state your job title, periods worked. They cannot make any reference to work performance etc as this leaves them open to employment tribunals.
Correct. I've spent many years contracting and consulting and my specified references are rarely picked up for that very reason.
I can only speak from my own experience (having very little in the UK to be fair) but the industry I work in is very intimate with only about 20 or 30 different firms you can work for - and if I don't know of the person I can usually get a personal reference from someone who has worked with them in the past. I completely dismissed a very decent CV the other day because I got (detailed) reports of the candidate going mental and getting sacked in one of the places he previously worked. So aye keep your nose clean and don't make enemies, you don't know how many people you pass on the way up who you might pass again on the way down.
When you Tuped did you sign a new contract? If not you should be free to walk after a month. Check the contract, any new Tuped contract should have basically the same conditions as your old job. If there is small print (which has sneakily been inserted) then any decent employment solicitor should be able to get it binned.
What does TUPE mean legally? Employees who are employed in the undertaking which is being transferred have their employment transferred to the new employer. Employees can refuse to transfer (or "opt-out"), but depending on the circumstances of the case, they can lose valuable legal rights if they do. TUPE states that "all the transferor's rights, powers, duties and liabilities under or in connection with the transferring employees' contracts of employment are transferred to the transferee". This all-embracing concept encompasses rights under the contract of employment, statutory rights and continuity of employment and includes employees' rights to bring a claim against their employer for unfair dismissal, redundancy or discrimination, unpaid wages, bonuses or holidays and personal injury claims etc. Employees therefore have the legal right to transfer to the new employer on their existing terms and conditions of employment and with all their existing employment rights and liabilities intact http://www.out-law.com/page-448
I don't believe your employer can hold you to a 3 month notice, don't think there's any law that says you've to stay in a job that you don't want to stay in because your employer needs you. Walk out now, there's **** all they can do.* *I don't know what the **** I'm talking about but I'm probably right.
Breach of contract, same as if a Footballer was to abandon his club while under contract, you can get sued.
