This talk of giving/working 4 weeks notice if paid monthly and 1 week if paid weekly is not correct. It makes no difference how often you are paid, the same notice term applies for both. Your employer cannot force you to work 4 weeks notice and he must pay you for any notice period you do work, so expect 1 week's money if that's all you work.
Where is the evidence of facts please Loz? My contract dictates I must give 4 weeks notice. Are you saying this is not factual? I would have no issue on leaving on a bad note from my current employers. But have already found when applying for new positions outside of the company, the 4 week notice has been an issue.
If I have proof I can submit to my current employers regardless of what my contract stipulates and the fact I signed the contract. I'd keep that one on the back shelf for a time when I might need it. There have been a lot of redundancies here and each one of them have either worked the 4 week notice or been made redundant within the week but had an additional months wage included in their redundancy package.
