Would you quit your job if you didn't finish your 3 weeks notice period?

[Anonymous]

I'm looking for a new job and have had a few interviews.

Will you still get your holiday pay if you quit before you finish your 3 week notice period.

I don't want to stay there so want to quit instead.

I did, yes. In late July 1985, I was working a summer job with a major soda company. I had just finished my BS and was going for an MS in the fall. I ended up on the bad side of the shop foreman, Billy, who was friends with our wimpy union rep. I was 22 and he was in his late 30s or 40s. One day, it got bad early in our shift with Billy busting my balls and I wanted to go after him, but I didn't. Instead, I just quit. I walked out and never went back. My shift was 12 hours anyway, so I made so much money, I didn't need to work in August. I don't regret what I did and wish I had done it in another job or two.

When Covid happened, my job laid me off with 2 days of notice. When I quit, and I'm searching for a new job right now, 2 days of notice is all they will receive. Don't give your job more than they would give you unless you think you may one day be desperate enough to come back.

Sorry you lost your job due to covid. That notice is so bad. Yeah, they keep getting me to do their crap jobs. I got injured a few months ago and I had to get a doctor certificate so it could get me out of part of a job I wasn't able to do. Which they tried to make me do at the time. I don't owe them anything. Lol. Good luck with your new search.

That's notice is so bad*from the company.

If you quit before completing your notice period, it may affect your holiday pay, depending on your employment terms. Generally, leaving early can lead to losing benefits or entitlements. Review your contract or speak with HR for clarity. Consider the professional implications of leaving without notice, as it may impact future references. Balancing professional obligations with your desire to move on is essential for a smooth transition.

It depends on your manager. I was at a company for about ten years. After I turned in my two week notice, I made sure my team knew my extended workload that I took. I had a meeting with my manager going over any other preparations I needed to be involved in and we agreed I could take the rest of the time off with all the benefits of retaining the full two weeks.

If you have accrued vacation, then they must pay you for it and all hours you have worked until you leave. If you are talking about an annual bonus paid at the end of the year, they don't have to give you that.

It would be such a tiny amount , if its that bad ( and yes I've been though this ) just leave , in Australia you would get the money owed..

Look into your local labour laws.

Depends on the company.
