My DH has been offered a (dream) job. He was just about to send his notice to his boss and was checking something on his HR website and had found that his role has a 3 month period of notice.... clearly he signed something at some point about this. He was promoted a level this time last year for which he signed another contract (which is most likely when it happened - yes I know he should have checked) other wise it could have happened a few weeks ago when he was promoted to Director (nothing new signed for this was a name change only)
So here is the problem, his new job NEEDS to start in 6/7 weeks. He will have about 2 weeks accrued holiday so wtf are we going to do???? He is in a high profile position and I know they are not going to want him there under sufferance but his Boss is an asshole a bit petty and would, I suspect love nothing more than to make things very difficult...
Could he ask for unpaid leave? What would you do in this situation? Can they sue him personally for breach of contract?
Any help or advice would be appreciated
TIA
