So again give IR a quick call and just double check with them... sixfan said: You'll have to look at your contract or deed of employment, but it's generally 4 weeks notice,tell him 4 weeks, sorry. What's he going to do? Sack you?As dags mentioned also, if he breaches his contract then he may lose all his entitlements... Or they may make his life harder to get any monies he is entitled to...4 weeks over 12 months of work is the 'normal' rule of thumb, however again NOT ALWAYS THE CASE! thumbs up again on the new job bud!!!

And considering my new job does involve moving interstate, im hoping my current boss will be a little understanding and accept 4 weeks. Im seeing him on Tuesday to sign all the paperwork.

Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 9m 1d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 12/12/08 08:50 AM Share Posted 12/12/08 08:50 AM ms700 said: that's what im worried about, cause ive been there longer than 7 years im entitled to long service leave, and also have nearly 40 days of annual leave accrued too......General rule of thumb , no more than 4 weeks notice required unless it explicity differs in a contract. Not sure about ACT law but you are not entitled to long service after 7 years. From memory it is generally 15 except SA which is 10. You are however entitled to pro ratawhich for 7 years would be 6 weeks pay. This plus your annual leave entitlements should be paid in full.Be sure that you are taxed at the correct rate. Btw congrats on the new job . You can shout me a beer to celebrate Sunday night Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49127-tell-the-truth-or-chuck-a-sickie/page/6/#findComment-785451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
