OK, thanks for that, short and sweet but thank you.

Susan handed in her notice with immediate effect, I am working 5 weeks notice. Sorry but I don't understand, can you help explain it to me.

Hi Thanks for that, but are our situations the same?

Hi, I work 2 days a week (weekends) for a small boutique and have been there for 7 years. I have been offered a new job and have accepted this. My contract states that I have to work 8 weeks notice but I need to leave after just 5 weeks. I know I will be in breach of contract, but small shops, employing part time wont wait 2 months, which to be fair does seem excessive. Can someone please tell my what could happen to me if I leave after 5 weeks instead of 8. My boss is pushing for 8 weeks notice and is not answering her phone so I have put this to her in writing.
