My daughter's mate started a new job six weeks ago, hates it, and has decided to leave.
Handed her notice in and asked - as she hasn't worked there long - if she could leave pretty much straight away. Company umming and arrring. Contract hasn't got a probation period and as a standard it's 4 weeks notice.
In the meantime she's got another job and they have asked if she can start in a week as they have assumed she will have to gives a weeks notice.
So. If she doesn't go back to her job, and starts the new one, legally what can happen? Obviously won't get a reference which she doesn't care about, but......??
Was asked this question, I've never been in this position so I don't know where she stands.
