Hi I am taking Union advise on this but wondered if any employment law/HR bods could advise in the mean time.
So I am on a 1 year temp contract till end August. 2 months ago I was offered a further year temp contact from September. I chased up the contact several times and it finally landed on my desk 2 weeks ago.
Now I have been offered a new position from September on a perm contract in the same industry but slightly different field. Standard is to give a terms notice however I believed I was simply not taking up my new contact so no issues.
I went to see line manager on Friday to let them know and they caught me on the hop about and said that they could block my notice as not a full term given. In hind sight I am wondering if they are unaware I have not have new contract signed back to HR yet?
So can I be held to notice if I haven't signed the contract?
Thanks for any advice.
