trials owns Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yo everyone, 4 months ago i started my new job, Now iv come too dislike it and everyday is a drag. So im wanting too look for another job. When i started the employer signed a 6 months contract (with the government or whoever) where if he was too give me employment for 6 months he would get a x amount of money per week for training me etc, As i was on the dull beforehand. Does this mean i have too work there for 6 months before im aloud too leave? Anyone know about this 6 months business? Many Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 What does it say in your employment contract? It will clearly state leaving conditions etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 6 Month contract merely means that they can terminate your contract after 6 months if they don't like you. Notice period you have to give them will be variable, but in general it's 4 weeks - mine is 12 weeks but you can always negotiate it. So in short, yes, you can get out of your contract. Technically you could leave tomorrow, but you'd piss people off and could kiss goodbye to any wages or references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Not sure, I haven't seen it/Don't know if there is a official one, I haven't signed anything that states the proper terms and conditions etc. Iv looked on the web and cant find any proper results about this. I did say just after i started id stay for 6 months, But this was because i was new and thought id like it. 6 Month contract merely means that they can terminate your contract after 6 months if they don't like you.

Cheers, you have put my mind at rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Is it an apprenticeship? As when I started working I have a training contract (as well as an employment contract) which means I have to stay 4 years whilst I study at the same time.

BradJohnson Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Ive just done a course for Domestic Energy Assessing, The course was £1600 but after that you have work coming out of your ears at £50 a job (each job taking 2 hours) You can earn a good wage doing it! Also its quite interesting because no 2 houses are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Sounds interesting, Is the work through a company or self employed? Id really like a job being out and about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
