Can my work force me to leave, if i said i was leaving a while back, without a written notice?

I said to my boss 7 weeks ago, I have got another job awaiting, but cant give you a leaving date. As I have to wait for first aid test results and my CRB check to come back. So, they have now replaced me, and asking me to leave within 2 weeks... can they do this? I never gave them a written notice!

No they can't.
There is absolutely no way your work force can ever get rid of you or force you to leave.
It is the law that when a work force hires someone they must provide a job for that person for the rest of their natural life... No matter what!
They cannot replace you or make you leave if you don't want to.
All you have to do is show up at your job and sit there and refuse to leave and there is nothing, whatsoever, they can do about it.
By law, they MUST supply you employment for the rest of your life.

Verbal contracts are usually binding (except for a few exceptions, verbal contracts are just a binding as written contracts).

As you can be hired without a written contract, I see no reason why you can't resign without written notice. In your case you didn't give a specific date, so maybe you didn't quit - maybe you just got fired. If you did get fired, there is unlikely to be anything you can do about it unless you're in a union. It costs a lot of money to sue for unfair dismissal and a judge might not agree that your dismissal is unfair.

Put yourself in his place. An employee tells you he is leaving, then keeps hanging around- does not give you an end date or anything.

What do you do? Any reasonable boss starts looking for a replacement immediately so the work gets done efficiently.

So, when the new person is hired, what do you do with the old person who already said they quit?



By the way- this is why you don't quit (or talk about quitting) until all of your ducks are in a row in the new job. Once you tell a boss you quit, they start a process that is designed to replace you quickly.

I would assume that the written notice is just a formality. If I was your employer and you told me you had another job, I would also be looking for and hire your replacement. The work needs to be done and they did what they had to ensure that business proceeds. Good luck with your new job.

.of course they can , they have to found someone to replace you. If you are not in a union a employer can fire you just because he or she want to,

nope they need written notice you could sue the company if u like for improper dismissle but if u got another job u probs wont get much

They cannot force you out - one thing - they can FIRE you. But there is no real reason to do that.
