URGENT, please help!??
I have just been offered a job, handed in my notice and saying I will work unitl the 31st and my boss has told me I have to work til the end of the month. Can he really hold me to this and if I walk out and don't come back, will I get paid for the last 3 weeks??
Answers:
if the new job is worth leaving for tell him to stick his job
not as if your going to be unemployed right
Since the 31st is the end of the month, I am not seeing what the problem is. Please clarify
the 31st is the end of the month.
If it's in your contract that you have to give one months notice, then he can certainly hold you to this.
If you need a reference, and want to get paid I'd work the notice. If you don't then just leave, but you won't get paid for the 3 weeks you dont work. (you might get some annual leave paid back if you have any left).
you will only get paid for the time you work..
No he can not say that you have to stay until the end of the month, unless you have a contract. If you walk out you won't get paid and it's best if you can give that two weeks notice. It looks good to future employers that you did. He's being a big creep. Best wishes I'm on my last day of my two week notice.
Alittle confused. How long is this month, or do you mean he wants you to work an extra month? Check your original work contract, that should tell you how much notice you need to give.
Well, since the 31st will be the end of the month.what is the problem here? Be specific.
You didn't technically give him two weeks. However, the end of the month is the 31st.
no he cannot legally hold you to it, he cannot not pay you as it is illegal in every state to work off the clock. he can however only pay you your last check as minimum wage legally
Your boss cannot force you to work beyond the two weeks notice you gave him/her. That is unless you somehow you agreed in contract to give them more notice or not leave until the end of a month.
They do not have to pay you beyond what you have worked so if you give them two weeks then don't look for an additional 3 weeks pay. The only other issue is vacation time and other benefits which you may be entitled to, look in your policy and procedures manual and see what it says about leaving their employment and what their policy is which I'm sure you had to agree to upon hiring.

If this job is making your life miserable then I'm right there with you bid them fare well and move on!
Hope it all works out alright!
If the 31st you state is the the 31st of October then I don't see the problem.
It depends on your contract. It is possible that you have to give 4 weeks notice or even more. If you leave before you are entitled to, without agreement, you may be in breach of contract. This could mean worse than not getting paid, you could even have legal problems from your old employer. If you don't have a copy of your contract is there an HR area in your company you could check with?
The 31st IS the end of the month - is he adding another month to your contract? Technically, if you've handed in your notice in the last fortnight, you haven't given him a months' notice - which is usually what's required.
hey u have the right to gey paid te three weeks u had worked
If you have another job to go to, you are supposed to work out your notice as in your contract; your new employer is supposed to time your start date to fit in.
You might need some advice on this, contact ACAS.
I think he has to pay you for the time you worked, but you are in breach of contract if you leave early.
