Resignation.

[HLaB]

I put in my resignation on Wednesday 21st of May; my boss responded in email on the Friday 23rd saying he accepted it and I'd be leaving on the 20th of June. However, he said (verbally) that he wouldn't process it until the new company sent an unconditional (ie not dependant on reference offer). This has still not arrived and now he's saying he still has to process things and the earliest he will let me go is on the 27th June; I'm supposed to start the new job on the 23rd. Sorry to drag you into this dilemna but has anybody any experience of similar and can offer advice.

My guess is that the written word has precedence over the spoken.

Where are you going ? More ££ ?? N + 1 time ???

If you've given your resignation in writing then you only have to stay until the notice period is up, as far as I remember for an employee it is just a month.

 

[ScotiaLass]

You've stated it in writing so your boss has to work on that date.
If you have holidays to take, then they would be added in to the equation and your leave date may be sooner than your months notice.

Your resignation has been accepted and a date agreed in writing. As Mort says it has F all to do with him regarding a firm offer on paper from your new employer

I would however have a issue of concern that it is 2 weeks since you handed in your resignation and you still do not have from your new employer the offer of the job in writing.

Start your new job on the 23rd as planned. You've given the requisite notice, which doesn't need "processing".

 

[fossyant]

You go when you want. His fault.

Tell him to swivel, I'd be a bit concerned if I hadn't had the new job offer in writing yet though, mind you crystal meth cartels aren't very hot on paperwork are they.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

I agree with the others above who said you've given the required notice and it's been accepted.

Besides, where you go after that is no concern of your current employer; what if you'd just decided to be a man of leisure?

[QUOTE 3116190, member: 259"]Surely it's nothing to do with your boss or your notice period whether you've got a firm offer on paper or not. What if you'd won the lottery, would he ask to se the cheque?[/QUOTE]

If I won the lottery I don't think I'd be working my notice, might cut down on the overtime a bit though.

Just a thought, is he delaying the reference? That'd explain the continuing delay in letting you leave.

He says he hasn't, but he has only said it verbally.

I had a job offer in writing the next morning after my interview, subject to reference; he said he wanted to see one not subject to anything before he realeased me :-(
