What are my rights if I refuse to take a pay cut during the COVID-19 pandemic?

Resignation notice periods are usually outlined in an employment contract. However, if the notice period has not been specified, the statutory minimum period of notice for any employee who has worked for at least 1 month is 1 weeks notice.

Notice can be given verbally, but it is advisable that it be provided in writing to eliminate the possibility of confusion or future disputes.

Your contract of employment may specify that a longer notice period should be given. This is known as contractual notice, and could require you to provide 1 month's notice for example. For senior or hard to replace roles, the contractual notice period could be much longer than this.

While working your notice period, employment terms and salary payments should still be honoured. This includes such benefits as sickness pay and annual leave entitlements.

Notice for an employer terminating an employment contract may be outlined in employment terms set out by the employer. However, it is important to recognize that there is also a statutory notice period that is required to be given by employers to their employees in the event of them wanting to end the contract.

The statutory notice requirements for employers are as follows:

 * An employee who has worked for a company between 1 month and 2 years - 1 week's notice required.
 * An employee who has worked continuously for over 2 years - 1 weeks notice for every year worked up to a maximum of 12 weeks.
