I have been given a months notice and want to get out early.? I have been given a months notice by employer, I have since got a new job and they want me to start immediatly. I have never signed a contract with my current employer, I have asked them if I can leave early but they are refusing to let me leave. Do I have to stay until the end of the month, or can I leave early and not be as pusnished for it. Have been advised that becasue I don't have a signed contract I can leave any time I like and don't have to work my notice period. Please give me your advice or point me in the direction of a website that would be able to help me find the answer
