    Can anyone answer a couple of questions for me.

    my current fixed term contract is due to end at the end of July (5 weeks away). The contract expresses 2 months notice on either side.

    I have not been given notice, nor had the contract extended although my employer says that it is the intention to extend. I would however like to leave at the end of the current contract.

    I also have two weeks annual leave left to take.

    Do I still have to give the full two months notice even though I will be out of contract? If I hand in a notice letter, effective the end of July, can my employer refuse to let me take my leave and/or can they refuse to pay me holiday pay if I dont work out the full two months?

    thanks for any help you can give.

    regards

    The notice would be intended to be given if you were leaving early. There should be no requirement to give it into the notice period. Your leave should either be taken, agree with them to leave 2 weeks early or be paid in lieu. They cannot refuse you your leave or holiday pay if it is in your contract. It's always best to make an amicable agreement in these things, especially if you are looking for a reference.
