I immediately wrote my letter of resignation and personally put it in the mailbox of the head office. I have a witness to this. Then yesterday they indicated that the letter was only processed on August 4th and because of the vacation it is not possible to stop on September 1st (according to my contract I have a notice period of one month). Now I have to start with my new boss on September 1st, how strong am I if I just start with my new boss on September 1st? And what are the possible consequences?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n You now have the problem that you will have to prove that the letter did indeed arrive at your employer on time. You probably cannot do that, because the witness can only testify that he saw you put 'a' letter in the mailbox. After that you also sat still for almost a month.\n \nIf you start with your new employer, you run the risk of being held liable by your current employer for the damage your employer suffers because you resigned prematurely. If you do nothing, the judge will rule against you without mercy.\n\n In any case, a registered letter must now be sent to your employer, stating that you have terminated your employment in a timely and legally valid manner. I advise you to contact a lawyer or employment lawyer for this.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n What is your relationship with the witness? Did you also cancel by email and\/or registered letter? I would be happy to help you with this. Please feel free to contact me.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nIt is true that you will have to prove that you gave notice on time. But you called your manager. If necessary, you can call him as a witness. In addition, you have a witness that you put a letter in your employer's mailbox. Your employer also acknowledges that they received a letter. Therefore, in my opinion, there is a reasonable chance that, if push comes to shove, a judge will find this sufficient evidence. If you stop on September 1, it is possible that your employer will not pay your last salary and the amount that you are entitled to based on the final settlement. You will then have to go to court to get this paid.\n\n In that case, I advise you to seek legal assistance.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55014828245341,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-27460-31-juli-heb-ik-een-aanbieding-gekregen-waarop-ik-in-ben-gegaan-en-heb-31-juli-mijn-direct-leidinggev","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
