Legal Advice on Notice Periods and Vacation Days

Questioner

I have a new job Notice period from previous employer is two pay periods I am two weeks short for that, but I still have vacation days to cover these weeks Can I use this for this?

Lawyer

You can do this in consultation with the employer. If the employer has serious reasons against this, he must demonstrate this. For more information or assistance, please feel free to contact me directly and without obligation.

Lawyer

Can you give me some more information? On what date did you enter into employment, on what date did you terminate the employment contract and against what date? Did you receive a (written) response from the employer? If you wish, you can send the documents to me so that I can assess them.

Lawyer

You can always leave your old employer. Notice period or not. If you do not comply with the notice period, you may be liable for damages. The employer must go to court for this. He may not simply proceed to settlement. In the case of employment of less than 05 years, the statutory notice period is 1 pay period. Only in the case of employment of longer, it becomes 2 periods. If the employer has deviated from the statutory notice period, his notice period must be at least twice as long as yours (i.e. 4 periods). If not, the statutory period applies again. For further questions/problems, please contact a specialized employment law attorney.
