Best ways of NOT work you notice?

Thanks for the replies. It's getting messy and there is a threat of legal action!!!!

I'm going to got for the subbie suggestion approach.

Before you do make sure you have one. No good if you have to interview and then wait for someone.

Or inform them that you will advise them of each subbie's details no later than 12 noon the day before.

It'll never fly. They're just trying it on.

Reality is they will never bother taking it legal for a few reasons:-

1. They will have hell of a time proving anything.
2. They're restricted to claiming 'losses' only anyway not some random figure they think of.

I take it you told them you were leaving and that was it? Like I said, I would hav pulled sickie. They probably would have known your lying but what can they do....

Not too late. Say you're staying to head off legal action, and then pull a sickie.

IMO both of these are utter crap.

1) It will be very easy to prove breach of contract. Contract is still running.. he isn't there.. Proved. Not difficult huh
2) Are you sure about this? Loses can also include losses going forward while a replacement is found and if the OP was doing a key piece of work that affects the clients business it could get eye wateringly expensive.

The reason they won't take it legal is it just isn't worth their while. They have business to be run and in the long run would probably be cheaper to forget it and get on with making money. I would not take this for granted though. I am sure there are plenty of companies that have followed this up on principle or they believe the losses are big enough.

Be even more pissed off with your attitude and continue with breach of contract actions. Pulling a sickie doesn't get you out of anything. Just makes you look stupid.

Saying that, with your attitude to clients and your business it is hardly surprising you think this is a good option.

IMO...

We're going to have to stop you right there, young man.

I disagree. Not saying its the right option at all but if the OP is intent on leaving it would be the less hassle option.

OK. So if you are genuinelly sick what happens then? Hardly breach of contract....

Man, do you not think before you type ffs.

So you are comparing a situation where someone is genuinely sick but still intends to come back to work with one where someone is lying through the back of their teeth just because they are too spineless to deal with the situation in order to breach contract.

Yeah, really comparable they are. Bit too much sun today?
