NOTICE

[HELEN10]

Hi hoping someone can advise, I will be giving a child 4 weeks notice to leave but the last week of that four week period i will be on holiday (for which i do not receive payment from that child). Can that holiday week count as my fourth week or not?

I am guessing you don't use the ncma contracts, i think on those they say that a period of notice can not include a holiday or period of paid time off!

I would see if the parent minds, it may be that they don't and then it would be okay, but be prepared to have to do a week longer.

No the 4th week doesn't count if it's a holiday ...they can pay you in lieu if they would prefer it to end when you go on holiday...otherwise you have to work 1 more week & be paid for that "fifth" week IYSWIM. (pesuming you use NCMA contracts...if not it depends what's in the small print of your contracts).
Hth:)
