What date do I put on my resignation letter?

[Charingcrossbun]

I've got a new job
Starts after Easter 20th April. Handed in my resignation letter and the head has returned it asking or a leaving date. Fair enough! but what do I put? My last day will be the end of term 3rd April....
Do I put that or the end of the Easter hols - 19th April? Don't want to not get paid for my hols!

No, put your leaving date- it's not your fault if it falls on a holiday ;)

And congratulations :)

Put the 19th so you get paid for the holidays and keep your continuous service.
