I'm sure mine is something like not working for 20 days...not turning up for a month is pretty much a months notice if you ask me..albeit slightly less polite!

Sorry.

Soon as he answers my question I will give him lots of ill-informed advice : I hope he has the good sense to ask someone sensible instead of me.

Such trolls
I don't see the problem in asking and getting to know about these things...

I was asking whether it was legal.
It's like saying to someone you are NOT allowed to leave. What if you have personal reasons or other?

Prime example of IR35 fodder old boy.

What I mean is, is it legal under contract law?
For exampe, to say to someone you are not allowed to leave us. What if you had personal reasons or just didn't want to work there anymore?
