I`ve phoned in sick for tomorrow. does anyone know where I stand with terminating my contract???? They can give one weeks notice within first three months, so does that mean I can???

and this applys for my shop assistant job not sure if it applies everywhere...but within the first month of working you can terminate your contract without notice...don't quote me on that for you....but seen as you have only just started I doubt you have to give much notice.

Usually the contract would say it - usually the employee has to give more notice than the employer in the probation period but not always.
Read the contract again slowly and see if there's any reference to it. If it doesn't I would take it that you can give the same amount of notice as they do ie one week.
Good luck on Wednesday with the other interview

I`ve been researching it and it says employee`s have to give one weeks notice AFTER a month...but it doesn`t say anything about less than a month. As well as the standard stuff you write in your notice letter have writtten this:
Acas suggest that an employee has to give one week's notice only after being employed for a month, however, if you feel I need to give a week's notice then please inform me, thank you.
what do you think? Acas is the employment rule thingy.
I`m stressing

I did some research too- on a government site I wouldn't quote ACAS, it's just an advisory service which is quoting the law, as opposed to the law itself.
As you said you have to work somewhere a month to be required by law to give a week's notice. Soo my idea is:
"As you are aware I only joined ASDA living on <insert date> and therefore I am not yet required to give you the statutory one week's notice and therefore I tender my resignation with immediate effect"
Is it a bit lawyery? If so sorry. It's also a bit brazen though but you are miserable working there hon and cannot afford to have to go back sanity wise.

ooooooooooooh thats REALLLLLLLLLLLLY good but I`ve posted my letter allready. I didn`t put the acas thing in the end cos my dad told me not to. I wrote something really simple and left out the notice period thing. If she wants me to work notice she can ring me but i REALLY hope she doesnt.
thanks sinead

thanks sinead. Not heard from her yet  had an interview at karen millen today, i got offered the job but it was a scandalous £4.40 an hour so at first I said can i let you know tomorrow (thinking if i don`t get the job at borders or the pier then i`d say yes) but they said you need to tell us now so i said no!!!!
I don`t know if I have done the right thing.
I`ve STILL not had my 2nd year degree results, they are SOOOOO late this year.
Nor have I had my endoscopy results

I thought it was terrible when I found out minimum age for a 21 year old is 4.25....mind you I'm on 4.63 an hour at toyworld...but 7.26 at ventura evens it out...I accepted toyworld jst cos I had not much options at the time and was desperate...I'm sure things will work out fine though and whatever you get will be meant to be.
