Life lesson - never put in resignation until you see the new contract in writing. Don't trust what people say will be in a contract.
But yeah, as others said, 8 weeks notice, crazy, just leave. |
There was no mention of any contract of any form. I had the interview, met the criteria and was made an offer. (not to mention that the offer was inclusive of super so I actually earn 9% less than I expected).
I understand the reason he has done it is due to being a small business, he needs to retain staff. He has just gone the wrong way about it.

Yeah I was aware of this already, hence why I was wondering if the contract is now deemed void. I am employed full time on salary, dont think being on salary changes things does it?
