Depends on the employer, if it's, say, John Lewis, they'd probably just pay him for the time worked. If, say, Islamic State, they'd probably cut his head off and declare a few more jihads.

actually ISIS mobile payments service has just rebranded itself as Softcard.
The joint payment venture between Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile US announced earlier this year that they would change their name in order to avoid being associated with violence in the Middle East being perpetrated by a group that, at the time, went by the name of ISIS. |

How much accrued holiday has he got?
|

By:
I'd advise him to see his Union rep

By:
I doubt if he has any holidays but im uncertain. He only has a 16 hr contract but has been working 32 hrs for about 6 months and just been told in another month his overtime will be cut so he doesnt care anymore and said if he finds something else he ll leave there and then.

I said/did the very same thing on leaving my first 'proper' job for my second one.
I was working for the NHS and got a job in a casino one night after seeing it advertising for croupiers and the company started their training programme about 5 days later. I handed in my notice the next day at the NHS - and would you believe, the 'boss' didn't want me to go and said he had me pencilled in for a promotion the very next month. I said "Thanks very much, but I don't want more money, I'm leaving on Friday" He said: "You can't! You have to work a month's notice". I said: "Well what are you going to do about it when I'm not here on Monday?" He looked totally non-plussed, being the pen-pusher he was. I left on the Friday, my salaried wage was paid in the bank until my departure date as usual - and I started a new job on the Monday. |

I'd be surprised if he is on a month's notice for 16 hours a week. Might be worth a quick look at the paperwork, though I guess if he'd kept it, he wouldn't be asking you.

We are all on a months notice if been there more than 3 months or so.
Like Tommy said what they gonna do. I would want a reference so would have to go along with whatever they stipulate Id assume |
|
By:
depends how often you get paid weekly can give weeks notice.
Just jack in and fook them, they will have to pursue you in court for what exactly? No money owed on either side. have never heard of anyone who has been chased by employers over notice period not served, its just courtesy |
|
By:
The only thing an employer can can do if you refuse to work your full notice period, other than hold back any accrued holiday pay, is sack you and say so on your reference.
|

By:
reference for who exactly? your going to put them down as a reference when you fooked them off and they sacked you out of spite?
|
|
By:
OP, the bottom line is when he chooses to not work out his notice there's really very little you can do (in practical terms) to stop him. Take it on the chin.

By:
Employers would want reference from most recent employment. When getting references they check dates and etc looking for gaps.
Standard for people to miss out listing a job if they think they'll get a poor reference there but employers aware of that. |
|
By:
never been asked for reference in my life

By:
Where I worked most of us just took it on the chin, as TR suggests, if someone in our section did it but one or two were spiteful b4st4rds and would not accept it.

@Brendanuk Was a condition of employment with the company I worked for that we received two satisfactory references.
We didn't ask for them but merely wrote to or phoned previous employers. |
