It all depends on the contract you have with the employer and/or the contract that they agency (if any) has with the employer. If you are an independent contractor for a company, you both should have drawn up a contract outlining the logistics of your position (ie, time in position before perm status consideration liability, pay dates, job duties, etc.)

Hello,\n\nThis situation is now rather ambigious (unclear) because normally if you have a written contact of employment, it would state clearly the amount of time required to terminate the contract with the employer. But if you've no written contract then your on thin ice as it where!. You only have the employers word for it, & of course an employer can make up the rules as they go along if that suits them? (yes! it can be very tricky).\n\nIf you've now completed your notice period of six weeks, your fully within your rights to leave immediately and without having to give yet further notice to end the employment.\n\n**The employer sounds like they made you a "verbal offer" of a better salary ( a carrott to make you stay on!!) or job promotion. However, if the verbal offer hasnt materialised or was broken i.e. not kept too! or apears to be just an empty promiss. Again your within your legal rights to leave, you havent broken any emplyment laws here as far as I can see.\n\n**I woudnt believe a word of anything offered further as an incentive to stay. i.e  the employer or manager is NOT to be trusted if they dont deliver on any promises made. Sadly you can only go by the past track record of how they have behaved towards you.\n\nHope that might be of use? IR

You have got a contract but it is a verbal contract. by law you should have written contract of employment within 6 weeks of starting the job.  You should really ask for a proper contract but before you do write down what you consider are the terms of your current contract.  Hours of work, break times, Holiday arrangements, pay review dates etc. and when you ask for a written contract give your boss these details and tell him that is what you consider should be in it. You can also point our that you are entitled to one by law.\nIn fact it is in the interests of the firm to have written contracts because should they have a dispute which has to go to a tribunal they tribunal will hold this failure on their part as a heavy factor against them and if you can say you asked for one and did not get it that would be in your favour\nYou do need to see an experienced employment law lawyer as it is a very complex area of law but the CAB should be able to advise on that

No.  Unless the contract specifically states you have to be 21, or a different age.

I think you are okay.\n\nExplain the problem to your Temp Agency.  It is traditional to give 2 weeks notice before leaving, but the rules can be different in the world of Temp Agencies.\n\nSince you are still in training you haven't been hired by the new company.  The Temp Agency will have to replace you, but that is nothing new to them.\n\nIf you can wait a week before starting your new job that would be good, but I think the chances are 80% that you will be able to leave without a problem.\n\nI received a temp to perm assignment from a temp agency and went through a training period.  However, before the job started I was offered a higher paying job.  I called the temp agency and explained the problem and they basically said, goodbye and good luck.  We are sorry to lose you, but we understand.  I think you will get the same response.\n\nTalk with the Temp Agency before you do anything, it is the responsibility of the Temp Agency to handle the company that is their client.  You should never have to talk with them.

It depends on the state.   In general they are not guaranteed the same job, though some states require "comparable" work.  If there was an industrial injury, there is often light-duty work before the employee is ready for his or her old job.\n\nIn most cases, employment is at will, and the employer can re-assign or terminate employees at any time unless there is a contract to the contrary.

Depends what country you work in, wether you were a temp worker, contractor, established member of staff? Were you told you have a notice period? If you wanted to leave would you have to give x weeks notice or could you just not turn up?

the probationary period is usually 3 months and it should be mentioned in your contract or offer letter.\nhowever, if you decide to quit during the first three month of your employement, you are not obliged to give them a notice period. and of course neither they should when terminating throughout the probationary period.\nbut if you feel that you don't want to put them through hard times looking for a substitute and training him/her, i mean if you feel you want to be gentle till the end, then give them one week... they would appreciate it i guess.

Probably not a lot that you can do aside from looking for another job.  You could try and plead your case with your supervisor or the HR department but that's about it.\n\nUnless you have a written contract of employment that states that you will be a regular full-time employee by a certain date, your employment is considered "at will" and the terms can be altered at any time the employer (or you) choose to do so.

You can't generalize this. Every company, every hiring situation can be different. If they need someone ASAP, then they'll move quickly. If not, it could be days, it could be weeks.

There is no law on how few hourse, they can work you 1 hour a week if they want.  It will be a written contract or a union contract as to what hours your work.

Only if you are going to use it and keep using it as long as you have a contract.\n\nOtherwise, enjoy.

Most likely, yes.  Depends on your situation, but I'd suggest checking your employee handbook, if you have one.\n\nIf you are an employee-at-will (non-contract), then what you've effectively done is agreed to work on their terms.  Those terms are generally detailed in an employee handbook of some kind - you know, the one most people throw into the back of some drawer and forget about.  If their terms include proof of illness for sick days taken, there's nothing illegal about it.

No, contracting does not occur until your MS3 year. Yuu may want to research the SMP program - I would strongly suggest it - there are solid benefits attached - see a recruiter for info.

Bring up a lawsuit against them with well documented hours of work and some from of job description and any pay stubs.  I hate that I am telling you this, but I do not like it when people abuse their weaknesses. Once a lawsuit is brought up they normally get a temp work VISA to stay in the country until is is settled, but by then most are able to find a better job and able to get extensions.  Had one subcontracts employee sue an apartment and got a work visa out of it. It is some times a risk, but you your friends case it just might work.  contact a good lawyer and you just might pull if off.

2-4 weeks is good (but know that sometimes employers will walk you out the door before your time is up, usually paying for the whole notice time you gave them).  The higher your position in the food chain, the more notice you should give.  Ask your supervisors for a written ("To Whom It May Concern") reference letter to keep on file and use as needed in the future.  Do your best to leave everything in good shape, and organized/ready for those who will be taking over your job.  Make sure you tell your supervisor (verbally and in writing) prior to telling any of your coworkers, that is seen as very unprofessional.\n\nLandlords -- depends on your contract,  but no less than 4 weeks notice, I would think.
