I have just been through this with ACAS you termination period goes on your pay frequency. SO if you are paid weekly you or employer give each other a weeks notice if you are paid monthly you give a month. IF it went to tribunal because your contract state 2-3 mnths (as mine did) it would be ruled as that length of time is unreasonable and could never be enforced

The rate of pay and position also comes into it - nobody/ very few people gets paid quarterly for example. In these cases monthly paid will be deemed obliged to observe the longer notice periods commensurate with overall package and duties.

But surely you knew that when you read the contract...

As said 2 months unless they produce other evidence where the system was set out and you clearly agreed this giving weight to the typo argument. I would expect them in any case to go with 2 months. Shame you do not have more arguments for constructive dismissal - if you had strong grounds you could chance it and be off tomorrow

I have strong grounds for discrimination against my current client but nothing against my employers.

I would burn all my bridges on the continent if i did anything about it though.

Aloha!

Yes, plenty of us on 3 months, but paid monthly, I'm sure.

The way around it is to get a job with a competitor.

Wifey is paid monthly, but has to give a full school term (circa 3 months) notice.

Not unreasonable given her occupation 

IIRC a term is standard for teaching staff, even when I was at school

No, and it works both ways. Three months is a good amount of time to find something else if things go wrong and three months guaranteed wages gives you a chance of a softer landing.

not if you work for some showers like I have in the past and you don't get one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sky it's 3 month notice as standard now (in technology circles anyway), unless you go to the competition. Then it's on gardening leave the next day and not allowed back in

Agreed, they will let you go straight away, even potentially as soon as they read you resignation, clear you desk, usually 'supervised'............
