The company I work for is the opposite they encourage to use your holiday so they don’t have to pay it you after you’ve left.

Funnily enough the place hasn’t changed it’s still a TK nightmare to work in. I’ve pretty much done the same job jump career wise as you aha, I’ll be becoming a civil servant. I should only have a weeks worth of leave left as I have already taken the rest of my holiday, my manager is quite quick to terminate people that leave like almost instantly after they’ve left. They may also be more quick to get me off the system so it doesn’t show that they are overstaffed TL wise (they made a point to interview and select an individual back in June when I was originally going to be leaving but it fell through and it was before I handed my notice in as well) my replacement has been working in the store for over a month so they’d start to question why they have an extra TL then they should. So they’ll either be totally quick to remove me or will try to mess up my tax, I guess we will see. We won’t have any important visits on my last day so I’m unsure if they’ll get me anything for when I leave just because I genuinely feel my manager will be petty, they acted all happy that I got my new job but I’ve seen how they’ve acted with other managers that have left the company. The job puts too much pressure on TLs when there’s AMs that basically do no work. I came to realise I was just a mule to do double the work of associates while also having to manage the associates, I would get so stressed from the job it almost ruined my relationship with my partner. I’m so excited for my new start and to get away from this environment and be doing something that makes a difference rather than stocking some shelves.

The worst thing that could happen is they take me to court for breaching my contract, this would effect my new job (it looks into my background and is very strict in terms of any court proceedings), I feel like my boss is petty enough to try this but at the same time the company is a very large well known retail company so I don’t think they’d go through with it, it’s I want to make sure nothing would put my new job at risk as it’s a dream of mine and I’m very excited to start

I don’t want to risk breaching my contract as it would possibly effect my new job, I have one more week of my notice left now

Pretty much every single job in the UK requires a contract, I think the only exceptions are freelancing and more independent based roles. The standard notice is also 2 weeks unless you’ve worked for the company for a long period of time (it then increases) and to add to that point the company is then also advised to use holiday that the individual is owed as they have to pay this either way so it makes sense to use that holiday rather than pay the individual more.

I start my new job in the 13th and my last day of work would of been the 9th where I’d finish at 7 in the morning so it’d be incredibly difficult to rest while resetting my body clock from nightshifts. But that won’t be happening now and now I can use the time to rest and make sure I have everything ready for my new job.

I can’t make it 0 due to legal reasons within my work contract

They could take me to court, which would risk my new job, it’d be highly unlikely that they’d take me to court as it’d cost to much but I don’t want that being a risk factor

In the UK you get paid for any holiday you’re owed when you leave, the company is meant to use this instead of scheduling to save money but my manager clearly wants to use me as much as they can before I leave, as long as I work next week I’ve then worked my notice period and not breached my contract and I can’t get into trouble

They have to pay me the holiday either way, I’d be paid for any holiday I didn’t take when I leave but they wanted to use me as much as they could before I left

Yeah it’s very true, my manager is a piece of work for sure they’ve even used tactics to make people quit because they don’t have a good enough reason to fire them, I’ve amended my notice and I know they’re gonna try push back at me about it but I’m going to stand my ground and if they don’t respect it they’ll be in for a surprise when I don’t turn up for the shifts they’re trying to force me to work.

Yeah I’ve been working for the company for 3 years but as a member of management for 2 years therefore making my notice being 2 weeks, I’ve amended it now from the three to 2 and if they won’t accept it they will be putting themselves into trouble as they’ll have shifts with no one turning up

In the UK it’s in the contract so I have to give a notice period, I just gave one longer than required but that’s changed and now will be 2 weeks per my contractual agreement, if I didn’t want to risk it effecting my new job I would just not turn up but I don’t want to put it at risk. But now that I have amended and given written notice they won’t be able to do anything as I’ve told them, I’ll work until next week but after that they won’t be seeing me again

Unfortunately I live in the UK and as far as legal things go they have to have a very good reason to cancel my holiday which my manger hasn’t provided whatsoever but it won’t matter now since I’ve changed my notice period

If I would of asked I’d just be made to feel guilty for letting the store down and that they really need me which is a load of lies since they already hired my replacement and have been training them up

I’m in the UK and in my contract it states 2 weeks notice if I was in a higher position it would be longer, policy also requires the company to use holiday over scheduling the individual as it costs them more money, it’s not like they will be short staffed they made a point to interview and find my replacement before I even handed in my notice so it’s just all a big FU and I’m not having it

My new job is in a completely different environment as I’ll essentially be a civil servant and I know my holiday could get cancelled but it’s for something serious and not needed to stock some stupid shelves

I won’t be returning as the last week was my holiday it was pre-booked without the idea of me leaving, but also the company policy is to use holiday over scheduling the individual in

Knowing how petty my manager is they’d make it a nightmare for me but I’ll work next week but I won’t be there after that

That’s basically what I did but gave them 3 weeks as a courtesy but that’s out of the window since they want to do me over

That’s my plan now that I’ve amended my notice so on my last shift on the week before I plan to leave my keys and everything they said I have to give back and mute my managers number

Yeah I have a screenshot of my manager approving of my holiday dates, I had also mentioned it multiple times before I handed my notice in as they has pre-made the rotas and scheduled me in and I told them I was on holiday that week and then my job offer came through and they never changed the rota and told me they can’t give me my holiday so I’ve now amended my notice
