I have been offered a new job in writing and want to hand in my notice which is one month, because of pay issues i want to hand in my notice on 1st December (Paid two weeks in advance two in arrears) so that i get a full months pay as the new position does not start until 3rd January 2006.

i have 10 days holiday outstanding can i still take them without penalty or is it a case of i will be paid but have to work them.

I appreciate companies have different policy but what is the general rule.

(b) My contract says 1 months notice in writing i assume that bank holidays etc are included in that month.


Cheers.
