[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 87056"] Yup will do. I had a chat to my legal friend and he reckons that as they terminated my employment BEFORE the three day abandonment clause they have effectively unlawfully dismissed me. He advised me that they should have paid out the three days plus one sick day when they only paid out the one sick day. He said that I could seek damages for the early termination but as I did just leave and not tell them the judge would most likely just reward me the three days payment and the cost costs would have to be met by both parties. The argument would be that I didn't really value the job and therefore should be rewarded accordingly. It seems like a hell of a hassle to do that especially seeing as I would have to take unpaid leave from my new job. So it does look like I will have to pay the money back (as I kind of expected anyway) but he is working out how much a "reasonable" fee would be to deduct from the money. I haven't heard anything from my old company's legal department yet but I am looking forward to it. I love arguing with lawyers - they're always so pedantic and pedantry is a loss art these days.
