Hey,
if you’ve seen my previous posts I’m sure you can see my history and relationship with my current boss is rocky to say the least. She’s left me a bit of a mess when it comes to talking to her or anything to do with my job to be honest.
anyway, the reason for my post is I handed in my resignation via email last Friday giving 4 weeks notice which is per my contract. This has been completely ignored by both HR and my boss. However, what I didn’t realise was my contract hidden elsewhere in there states that all notice etc must be delivered to the office address so I assume this to mean that a letter must be handed in (it says considered received when hand delivered or 7 days after posting via post). So I’m going to hand deliver the letter as well and I’ve changed the date just in case on it to say my last day will now be a week later (as I’m hand delivering it today). I will also send a follow up email off the back of the previous one and attach the amended letter so they can’t argue confusion, and add a read receipt to it . The contract does not state specifics about delivering within working hours etc and it does say notice can run to whatever day of the week but I’m a bit nervous she’ll argue it wasn’t received until Monday. But again the contract doesn’t specify and technically I’d already emailed my notice as well.
i guess my fear is that she’s awful and will try anything to make sure I can’t get my holiday pay that I’ve accrued while on leave. To add, I was due back to work on 2nd March so I’ve given enough notice and to be honest I think it’s unreasonable to expect me to go hand my resignation letter in personally as in hand it to her, whilst I’m not at work. We don’t have a good relationship anymore and she’s been horrible to me. I’m not worried about burning bridges because as far as I’m concerned she’s done that already and I’m trying to be as professional as possible. She’s gone weeks ignoring my messages, calls and emails during my leave prior to this and quite frankly I just don’t want to speak to her either on the phone or in person and the mere thought is giving me horrible anxiety.
I guess I’m just looking for reassurance that she can’t tell me I’ve not given sufficient notice or given it properly?
I know some people probably just think I should “man up” but honestly I’m a wreck about this.
