I am currently employed on a contingent contract (temporary) which requires no notice on the part of either myself or employer. From 1 April we are moving to a fixed term contract which requires a months notice. We were told about this over 2 weeks ago when we were also informed that our salaries would be brought into line with permanent employees. One can only assume this means we will be on a lot less money as the manager has been heard saying on the phone that we will all walk out if we were offered 'that much'! To date we still do not know the rate of pay but have had no choice but to apply for our own jobs if we wish to continue to work there. Today I have been offered a job elsewhere which I have said I will take. Due to the criminal security checks involved the start date won't be until end of April. I'm loathe to hand in any notice to my present employer in case anything weird comes back from the vetting check (inaccurate records etc) and I also have a slight concern about a blip with my finances where I am paying an agreed amount each month to a creditor. Question 1 What can my present employer do if I don't hand in a months notice and just give a week's after the 1 April Question 2 Are financial records searched for criminal vetting! Thanks in advance
