Using annual leave to offset notice
You can use your annual leave to offset the notice period in order to bring forward your last day of employment. In this case:
You would only be paid up to your last day of work.
The annual leave used to offset the notice will not be paid.
After your last day, you can start work immediately with your new company.
However, using annual leave to offset the notice period is not the same as taking approved leave during the notice period.
If you apply for annual leave during your notice period, and your employer approves it:
You will be paid for the full notice period.
You are considered an employee until the last day.
You cannot join a new company until the notice period is over.
