So again give IR a quick call and just double check with them...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.

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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
