Re: resignation notice?Cathy et al,

Yes, come to Australia and if you come to Darwin we will give you six weeks
annual leave plus pretty good salary and a perfect tropical environment to
work in.....

I actually have two vacancies being advertised this week, one for a P2
(Professional Officer - Degree required) and one for a Technical 3 (Diploma
degree or equivalent required). Both positions in a routine Histopathology
lab. Anyone interested in these positions is encouraged to contact me by
email at richard.powell@nt.gov.au

I also would support your statement about giving notice. Under our Awards
one pay period is all that is required (two weeks)  although we expect at
least four weeks from senior staff.

Lab Manager

    Here's a non-histo question. I recently gave my employer a 3 week notice
that I have accepted a better job offer in a hospital. He then pitched a fit
and called me unprofessional for giving such a short notice. I've only
worked at this research lab for 3 years and have 2 wks vacation. I assumed
that the norm was to give notice equivalent to ones vacation time. Does this
seem "unprofessional" to anyone besides my employer?

  I always thought that resignation notices should be no less than your
normal pay period. ie if you are paid fortnightly then that is sufficient.
However if you are paid monthly, then this would apply. Don't forget that is
all most employers are required to give you if they sack you, either in time
or money.


  Come and work in Australia, we get 4 weeks paid vacation!!!!!!


  Cheers, Cathy
