AussieGal777 | What happens if you dont give your employer '2 weeks notice'? |
ok, im in australia and 17
Just got a job at kmart, but i think i am going to get a job at somewhere better im just waiting for a call.
I know you usually need to give "2 weeks notice" when you want to quit, but what actually happens if you just say "I QUIT" and dont turn up to your shifts. What can they do?
Also, i probably wont put Kmart as a reference on my resume so its not like they will be my referee and say bad things about me |

Really, the two week notice is only a thing of common courtesy. If you can give it to them, you should. It will look good on your work record. But, if for some reason you cant, say that the other place wants you to start right away explain this to your current employer. Tell them you are very sorry that you cant give them a notice but the new company wants you now. More than likely they would understand.
I switched jobs a few months back, i was only able to give my past employer one week notice due to the fact my start date was a week later. You can only do whats best for yourself. |

Assuming that Australia works like the U.S., if you don't give 2 weeks, you probably won't be able to get a reference from your current employer down the road. |

At most jobs there is a time (from 6 weeks - 6 months usually) after you start working there that is a probationary period during which you can leave with minimal notice or they can fire you with minimal notice. If you just started working there then don't worry about not giving alot of notice.
Try to give as much as you can and write a nice note to your manager - i.e. thank you for the opportunity but the position I accepted is not working out for me right now. Then go on to your new job without a backwards glance.
Don't put down the KMart job on your resume - if you were there for less than 3-6 months it really doesn't count. You weren't there long enough to get to know anyone and vice versa.
Good luck - hope this new job works out really well for you! |

I would imagine at Kmart they didn't have you sign any kind of contract, but generally speaking, that would be the only legal recourse an employer would have. Basically, if you don't give two weeks, you just burn a bridge. I hope this job is good enough that you will never need to work at Kmart again, chances would be slim to none that they would hire you back.
Good luck! |

Not sure if there is any legal requirements in Australia but none in the US. The only real effect is in a reference and/or if you ever want to come back to Walmart. It is burning bridges. |

As an employer, it would tell me that you are as immature as your age indicates. It is a courtesy to the company you are working for to give them time to replace you. Any potential employer wants you to give your previous employer a notice. If I wanted to hire you and I knew you were already employed, I would know that I needed to give you the two weeks time frame. If you said to me, "No, I dont need to. I will just start right away with you and just quit the other job" then I know that for me to invest my time and money in training you, that you may do the same thing to me!
Be smart, be courteous and be mature. There has been several jobs, I had before opening my own that after I turned in my notice, I did not end up working that full two weeks, They let me end my notice time, after a replacement was found and trained. |
