I need to advice someone very close to me.


This is the gist of the story!

I got paid last month's salary on the last day of the month.

Now 5 days into the new month, I got an better offer (read that to mean, I have been interviewed and chosen by a new place before this)

Am getting a letter of appointment tomorrow.

How do I close the chapter at the former place of employment neatly?

By returning last month's salary or by working for the next 30 day's free or just walking away? Is there any other option?

What is the position of the law?

Thanks for your input

linearity:


Payment in lieu of notice is, if your employer wants to sack you without giving you the usual one month notice.

Payment in lieu of notice is not applicable to the employee, if you do not like the job, you can opt out anytime any day and you don't pay the employer as salary back, except loans and other unearned income & benefits already given to you...your last month salary was earned and can't be returned to your employer even if you walk off on payday so long as payday is on or after the last day of that month's salary being collected.

monabass:


Hey bro, it doesnt quite sound ideal to me. why will he have to return the salary for February? He actually worked for the entire month hence his reward.
Will appreciate further clarification

Bro be patient... I stay for 5years b4 I got my first job.

yomi007k:
Forget last month issue.

The problem now is if there is notification of resignation in ur employment letter.

If der is, u no go fit go till u notify dem n complete d no of days.


If not, submit ur resignation letter wt a smile.

sholatech:
It depends entirely on your employment letter. What is stated under resignation/Termination? If none, then you are a free bird. If however they require you to provide one month notice or pay 'in lieu', then you can request new employer if you can resume in April or you pay your current employer 1-month salary

Tazdroid:
Firstly, congrats on your new job

Secondly, it's not up to the law but the terms of your contract of employment. If none, then the law takes effect which is a month's notice or payment in lieu of notice (that is you pay your basic salary in order to leave immediately)

Thirdly, my candid advice is that you issue your letter of resignation and work for a month. It may seem strange but it depicts a form of respect for your former employer, not leaving in the blink of an eye. Your new employer would be astounded that opting to stay shows that you respect your boss well enough to give 'em time to find a replacement

234GT:
If you have a lot of idle cash, pay a month's basic salary to your current employer and jump ship. No time.
If you are working with a small organisation, giving one month notice could give them time to rope some petty issues to you.

pierrenwob:
I assume it is stipulated on your letter "one month notice or 1 month pay in lieu of notice". In which case it is legally acceptable to resign with immediate effect and pay them 1 month. However if you are working on a project or handling key responsibilities, you may want to give 1 month notice so as to handover properly and maintain good reputation/ relationship.

Please note that when you give 1 month notice and work for that one month, you current employer will pay you your full salary for that month. You will not be working for free.

Working away is not an option.

If you need to resume earlier than 1 month, you should give them notice with the number of days you can afford to and pay for the remaining days with cash.

Some companies may accept any remaining leave entitlement as part of your notice and you pay or work the rest off.

aviationguy:
My comment goes thus:
1.How acquittance are you with the new company,are you sure they can be able to pay you promptly ?
2.What is the condition of service in the old and new company compare this two factors because of retirement and entitlement when you want to leave.
3.Your relationship with the old company is important because they may view your fast resignation as a betrayal due to the confidence they have in you.
4.I believe the salary in the new company is what you want to compromise on the old company.my advice is don't resigned just yet if you have not evaluate all the point I raised.
Best of luck

davodguy:


Just say, its about you

Anyway its simple.

If at the new job, you're told you can resume 1/4/17. Tender your resignation letter first thing tomorrow, to give them 1 month notice ahead, hence you get your salary for March, 2017.

But if you have to resume before 1/4/17, then return February's salary back to them and move on

hiremyminivan:


You go find brother

Riddler32:


It is simple, not rocket science. Hand-In your letter resignation, thanking the company for the opportunity, bla bla. You will only be paid for the number of days you worked in the new month.

OR

Request from the new place for extra weeks to formalize things (or resume).

FlirtyKaren:


Just walk away. Your former employer will calculate what you owe and show to you.
Happened to me and I walked way. They later sent me a letter that I owed them just my basic salary, allowances excluded. I left 30th of June 2016, the end of a month, 6 days after i picked my month's salary.

mandae:
Pay back one month salary and submit your resignation letter.
Thank me later.

amiablesystems:
It shouldn't become an emotional burden as this will cripple the individual's capacity to take a decision. Ofcourse the burden of the guilt while taking the salary could be difficult to bear. Personally since it's a no loss situation, and there's nothing to lose, i advise this :

1.Speak to the HR, tell him the truth and ask for his suggestions.

2. Wait for reply from step 1

3. Take it easy, dont be to one to make an offer to return just one month's salary, let the company decide so you can leave in good light...


Don't be too hooked on any job, there's always a time to leave...

softMarket:
What I will do. . . . .


Submit the salary to my old. Employers like a boss.
That's if the new job will pay well!....


Then move ahead to the new. Job...that's if their salary is actractive!! Veryyy actractive!!!
