I'd speak with the new employers and tell them you have to give a months notice but intend asking for it to be waived. Tell them you want to do what is required and don't want black marks on future references. I'm sure they can wait for month.
Thanks for the bad news guys
Just wondering what would be the maximum amount of money I may have to pay if, hypothetically, they did take me to court over it (I know this would not happen in a million years but if I knew what I was getting myself in for in a worst case scenario it would help!). Is it just the full remuneration of the contract (e.g. the unworked portion of my salary) or could they look for any amount they wanted as compensation?
Thanks again
I'd imagine the most that the company would be out of pocket would be the difference between your salary and a replacement at short notice for the month. So if they have to hire someone and pay them 25% more than you then they're out of pocket by a week's salary. But as someone said it is usually unlikely that they'd make a big deal out of it.
I think that should apply to you
To be honest if the company only just hired they may be happy for you to go quickly rather than pay you when you're heart wouldn't be in it and they might not get much from you for the remainder of your term there
