We have an employee who has had two written warnings and would have received his third today due to non performance and employment would have been terminated with one weeks notice in lieu. The employee has only been here since October 2011.
The employee has since sent an email tendering his resignation with 4 weeks notice.
We really would like to know where we stand as the legal notice period required is one week. Can we say no only one week required and pay the employee or do we have to pay the tendered four weeks?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
