This isn't specific to 'web work' but is more of a general query.
I signed a 6 month contract with my current employer on the 12th of August. The initial 6 months are a probationary period. The contract states that you need to give 4 weeks notice if you wish to leave.
I was offered a position on Friday (better job
) to which I told my future employers I would only need to give two weeks notice to my current employers.
I informed my current employers of this and they reminded me that I had signed a contract which states that I need to provide 4 weeks notice. However, I thought that legally if you're working less than 6 months in any position that the legal requirement is 2 weeks notice.
If the contract I signed, which states that I need to give 4 weeks notice, does not conform to the minimum legal requirement of 2 weeks notice then is contract then void?
