Resignation Notice Period

[Uraeus]

Good day Folks,

I am wanting to resign from my job, But i'm only required to give a 2 week notice period (as per my contract).

Can those two weeks be over a holiday? I'm assuming not.

I am wanting to start my new job from the second week of January. I dont want to hand in my notice just before the December break, as then I wont get paid for the last ~2 weeks of December :/

Is there any way to do this without taking a hit?

I'm just thinking from the employers side, they also dont want to pay for something for nothing, as I'l be leaving.

Any advise would be awesome

I'm guessing it also depends on the employer and your relationship with them. Typically, as far as I know, the majority of companies won't allow you to take leave during your notice period, but if you have a good relationship with them, and you're not leaving on bad terms, and it being December/January holidays, they might be forthcoming and allow you to do this anyway.

Also, as far as I know, most places will pay out any unused leave. So you can plan your notice to be 2 weeks before any vacation time you would otherwise take, and simply have the leave paid out.
