How to not work my notice period?
I have a part-time job (24 hour contract) in retail, which I’ve been working for the last 2 months. I just found out my new contract for my new house (in another city which is 2 hours away) will start sooner than I thought, which obviously means I will have to move probably in the following week or two. Now I only just let my manager know I’m leaving, so I can officially only leave on the 1st of August, and I don’t want to have to pay rent in two places and stay here just to work. We talked about using my vacation days to compensate for maybe the last one to two weeks, but I really just want to go as soon as possible.
Technically it would be a breach of contract to just leave sooner, but can is it possible to just tell them they don’t have to pay me for the rest or call in sick for a few days?
