Need help regarding Notice period breach
Hi SueEllen,
I'm in a bit of problem regarding my notice period. My company requires 3 months, and I've just agreed to a contract with a 3 week notice period, hoping my Boss would let me go, as some others left.
But I've received a letter for Breach of Contract threatening legal action and saying I shouldnt work for any other firm for the next 3 months, and they're asking me to sign it.
My questions:
1. What are the implications if I sign/dont sign the letter?
2. What legal action could they take against me (based on experience). I am ok with them withholding my pay, but am scared of court proceedings or them preventing me from starting another job.
3. Are you aware of any damage figures from experience? I make 42k per annum.
Thanks. Please reply as soon as possible.
