NOTICE OF TERMINATION
If you wish to resign, you should do so in writing giving such notice as is specified in your Statement.
If your employment is terminated by Reprotec UK, you will be entitled to receive the notice as is specified in your Statement.
GROSS MISCONDUCT
You may be summarily dismissed (i.e. without notice) if there has been an act of gross misconduct. Examples are contained in the gross misconduct section of ‘Disciplinary Rules’ above.
During a probationary period your notice period may be different, so you should refer to your Statement for this information.
If you are given notice of dismissal verbally, it is deemed to take effect immediately. If notice is sent via post, it is deemed to take effect according to the schedule below:
● Sent by email: the day after the email is sent
● Sent by recorded/special delivery: two days after letter sent
● Sent by first class: three days after letter sent
If you terminate your employment without giving or working the required period of notice, as indicated in your individual Statement, you may have an amount equal to any additional cost of covering your duties during the notice period not worked deducted from any termination pay due to you. This is an express written term of your contract of employment.
You will also forfeit any accrued holiday pay due to you over and above your statutory holiday pay, if you fail to give or work the required period of notice.
If either you or Reprotec UK serves notice on the other to terminate your employment, Reprotec UK may require you to take “garden leave” for all or part of the remaining period of your employment. During any period of garden leave you will continue to receive your full wage and any other contractual benefits. This is an express written term of your contract of employment.
