I want to leave my contracted position of employment with immediate effect, what are the legal implications?|||It all depends on your contract, the t%26amp;c's aorund the required notice period, and WHY you want to leave.
If you're meant to work notice (usually 2-4 weeks) and you just want to go because you have a new job waiting. you are legaly obliged to fulfil your contract and make your new employer wait. However, many employers will release you early (on "garden leave") if you have annual leave left or are prepared to take a hit in your last pay packet... and as long as they don't need you to finish off any projects or handover to your replacement.
If you want to go because something at work makes it untenable to stay there, then get your doctor to sign you off "sick" for 4 weeks, and then hand your notice in and don't go back.|||The legal implications are mainly surrounding the terms of your contract that will require you give notice. In theory your employer can pursue you for their loss; in practice they will probably just dock your pay.
Best advice is to speak to your boss. Politely explain that you wish to resign. Ask if you can leave immediately, but be prepared to explain why. Hand over a letter you already drafted (but don't write down when you want to leave). Let them agree if possible. If you know you are leaving them in the lurch, don't! Try to agree a shortened notice period.
If you just walk out they will be able to say so in any reference, so unless this was a very small holiday job you should think carefully. Lastly, if you are leaving because of their treatment of you, repost a question about constructive dismissal (or look it up).
Good luck.|||I think theres a word called quit, that allows an individual to stop going to work.|||You may have to forfeit any monies due to you.
