My girlfriend has given two weeks notice at work as a transport planner; she has been there for 3 months, a trial period. She has decided that it is not for her, the boss is a cock and she has had no formal training in the area from the company.
Basically she handed her notice in yesterday and gave 2 weeks which was part of her contact. However today the boss was sarcastic and acting like a child because she is leaving. She was in tears tonight and doesn’t want to work the two weeks.
She would like to know whether she can waive her two weeks notice tomorrow by writing a letter and not turning up. Does she risk being sued for breach of contract???

If it's so bad that it's affecting her health then her doctor could sign her off anyway.
If she was employed on a three-month trial then she may not have to give or work notice. Her employer can waive their rights to notice.
