Leave booked and thinking of resigning

[creampuff]

I'm thinking of resigning. I'm on 4 weeks notice. I also have 2 week of holiday approved.

The dates have worked out that if I resign, the first two weeks of my four week notice period are the two weeks which I have a holiday booked.

What could happen?

You might end up owing them if you have had more than your pro rata allowance of holidays

^ I'm ok in that department.

I'm more worried that they would/could:
- cancel my approved leave
or
- say that the 4 wk notice period actually has to be served sitting in the office, which would mean an end date 4 weeks _after_ I come back from leave, which is 2 weeks later than I'd like.

Well you can't resign twice.

Company would struggle to convince an employment tribunal you had to work your notice period, but they were ok when it was booked as holiday.

Just resign, and go on holiday. even if they cancel it.

you are leaving anyway.

Your holiday leave has been approved so they would look very. Petty if they tried to change it. Your contract states 4 weeks notice so 4 weeks it is not 4 weeks plus 2 weeks if you have holiday booked.

Chill out don't worry about it, take and enjoy your holiday, what are they G oing to do sack you? If they did they wouldn't have any grounds for doing so and providing you've worked there more than 2 years they'd leave themselves open to legal action.

Mmm ok. I'm still thinking about it. New job pays 50% more and I dislike my current job. OTOH the new job only goes 6 months.
