Resignation after being on furlough

Simon

Hello all,

back in may I was put back on furlough for 1 day per week with possibly staying on furlough until September, however this only lasted 5 weeks (2020 furloughed for 6 weeks)

during this time I was very concerned for my job security as a manager especially when told by the director we are fighting for our jobs, hence I started to look for other prospects to which I secured a new position in another company, my notice period is 3 months however due to furlough and lack of security I have only given 1 month.

can the company successfully sue me for breach of contract?

for information since giving my notice 

my meetings have gone from all day every day to 1 meeting per day

excluded from management meetings

i have already trained an individual to cover me when I leave

  • In theory they can. But it would just be a wasted exercise for them as they would have to prove some direct financial loss with your leaving early and that would be almost impossible to prove.

    In practice I'm not aware of ever hearing about an employer doing so.

    And, as you probably realise there isn't anything they an do to stop you leaving.
