Nope he hasn't quite got the concept of:-

Office closes 13 December office reopens 13 Jan.

Unfortunately rather than resigning on the 13th December he resigned on the 16th. And while 14/15 December was the weekend the 14/15 Jan are weekdays....

Its the schoolboy error of resigning on a Monday not a friday and the consequences of doing so.

Whatever it is, he's ****ed it up. He still doesn't understand though from his last posts.

[eek]

Looks like he is equating a month to 4 weeks, Monday 16th Dec to 13th Jan, instead of 1 calender month?

Nope the break is because they are closed for a month so no client onsite to speak to. break started 16th dec for a month, I resigned 16th dec giving a month.

Right. So leaving date 16th Jan? Confused.

So if they are shut, how can you go in?

I take it OP has spoken to the Client about all of this?

Yep but the break started on December 13th. You served notice on December 16/17th....

Break finishes on Jan 13th. Notice finishes Jan 16/17

And its that which they are holding you to........

So, as per post 4 - offer a substitute instead. Simple.

But if the break is a month and the notice is a month = 1 month

A month is a month

It was an odd one, at the start of the contract it was a week, this then increased to a fortnight then in December it became a month. Also just to add to the joy a one month break starting 16th December. I phoned to resign on 16th having started a new contract. I emailed later the same day.

1 month notice starting December 16th = Finish date January 16th.

Don't know how to break it to you but it seems they may be in the right....

Maybe I've missed it but what was the notice period in the contract?
