Leaving date

[Bondibeechtree]

When handing in notice, can a last date of employment be a Sunday if you/the organisation don't work a Sunday? It would prevent a gap of employment on a CV. My org are pushing back on this and want a Friday but that would mean 2 days gap on CV and obviously slightly more pay, pension etc.

Ok it's an overthink. Done. Sorted.

But presumably at some point in the process of job application (let’s say 4 in the next 25 years, dunno) it says “list employment history, explaining any gaps” and you write “x, y - 2 day gap owing to weekend”

Otherwise, as per my post above, can you leave job 1 on Thu and start job 2 on Fri.

Job 1 isn’t going to give you pay and pension for an extra two days.

You are allowed to take time off between roles. "I took a holiday" should be the only explanation required for a gap of weeks.

Lol at thinking a weekend is a gap in employment 🤦‍♀️

My husband works with children so I know about gaps in CVs. A two day gap is not a gap!!!

In the NHS your week runs Mon-Sun so even if you left on the Fri your contract technically finishes on the Sunday.

You are having your weekend off in between finishing work on Fri and returning/new job on Monday. It really isnt a gap!
