PVR and Beating The Minimum Waiting Time

[passedoverat46]

Does anybody know of somebody getting away with leaving and giving just 1 months notice instead of sticking to the minimum waiting time? I have been told that the EU law that monthly paid workers only have to give a months notice has been sucessfully used by some. The reason being that the MoD won't go to court for fear of setting a precedent. Any help gratefully received. TaDT_Xtremez_31:

It's been known to happen, depending on the needs of the Service, but you would have to have a written job offer and your line manager would have to agree to running light for a few months. The "EU law" which I first heard cited around 15 years ago is bogus I'm afraid but I reckon your chances of getting out earlier than the minimum waiting time are fairly good at the moment. It might not be so good if the anticipated post-redundancy PVR spike turns out to be bigger than planned against.

The record that I know of so far is 2 days, though the chap in question did indeed have a job offer and the leaping heap force was winding down at the time.

Much depends on the trade but like TBJ says have the job offer and willingness to run light.

1 day for me, though a job offer helped massively.

After two guys leaving in quick succession (just a few days notice) our wing co said no more. Everyone to serve their 6 months. To be fair the majority of us went looking for other employment and if it was still allowed I very much doubt I'd still be where I am.

So there is a problem with retention then?
