    Hi,

    I started a new job over a month and a half ago. Due to reasons outside my control I’m going to have to give my notice.

    The notice laid out in my contract is one month. The issue is due to the reasons I need to leave I won’t be able to do the month, i would be able to do two weeks max.

    I was looking online about it and I found that it says if you’ve worked less than 13weeks you don’t need to give notice.

    Does that still apply if you’ve a notice laid out in a contract? And if not would you have any recommendations on what to do about the notice?

    Thanks

    Give them as much notice as possible, and explain the reasons, they might be understanding of your situation.

    They're not going to sue you for breach of contract over a couple of weeks, and considering the short length of employment it's presumably not somewhere you'll use for a reference in the future so you've nothing to worry about. As another poster said, give them the max notice you can, with an explanation.

    A week would be fine. Two of you can but I wouldn’t sweat it.

    No it doesn't apply if your contract says something different.

    But talk to them: in many cases, for someone just in the door and likely still in training, they will be be happy for you to finish up the same day.
