Some companys can ask you to take you leave in lieu of notice, (like financial institutions) so you give them 3 weeks notice, and then leave on the same day, and get paid your leave as the next three weeks pay... But sometime they put an embargo on getting another job in that "leave" time... or you could request it yourself... but some bosses want to get every penny out of an employee so will make them work up to the last second, and it sounds like you might be in that situation... Good luck to your DH.
Oh, he will want Ad at work for every minute of it if he isn't on holidays.. he is screwed without Adam there, it will take him MONTHS to get someone even remotely up to speed on his job....
Ad took phone calls at 11, and 11.30pm last week cause the boss kept forgetting the time difference.....
I wonder how many "stock boys" can run an international company while the boss is outta the country... He doesn't even make the national average in wages, and because he's on salary, no extra pay for all the hours extra a week....
Ok, it's probably just because they are stupid and arrogant. When I met exH, he was a 'storeman' too. The wages were pitiful, he FINALLY got a decent company ute after they made sure he was grateful enough for it, then insinuated he arranged for it to be stolen (and burnt out). He told them her was thinking of leaving so they changed his pay structure like it was bleeding them to death personally.
He did leave and they had to lay off 5 staff in the next 3 months, and last we heard it was close to closing. It was hysterical hearing how 90% of the customers left because he wasn't there anymore - they still ring him to ask if he will come back, but even so they are snarly about it
