Change occurs on a variety of levels, from minor to more significant change. Although redundancy may arise as a result of a change, not every change creates a redundancy situation. Barnardo’s has a number of procedures for managing different change situations and these can be found on Inside Barnardo’s.
The law provides for minimum periods of notice. Your written terms and conditions of employment set out the notice that you must give to Barnardo’s when resigning from your post. Notice must be given in writing, with the reason, to the person specified or to your line manager.
Barnardo’s must give a minimum statutory period of notice as follows:
Continuous Barnardo’s Service | Minimum Notice |
Four weeks or more but less than two years | One week |
Two years | Two weeks |
Over two years but less than twelve years | One week for each year of continuous service |
Twelve years or more | Twelve weeks |
Barnardo’s in many cases requires as a condition of service that the period of notice, on both sides, should be longer. Details are given in your written statement of your terms and conditions of employment.
