Default Can I turn down confirmation?

Hi,

I am about to receive my confirmation letter soon. But then I have other opportunities in the pipeline.
The reason I stayed is because there is a contract with the job agency. If I leave within 3 months, I will have to pay a penalty.
If I signed the confirmation letter at 3 months, the notice is 2 months instead of 1 before confirmation.

Does anyone have experience in turning down confirmation? Thanks!

I'm 99% sure no one here knows wtf u talking about. So vague and random..

Lucky for you I know what you're asking.

No you can't turn down NS related confirmations. You are required by law to adhere to your NS obligations. Contract work in NS is not bad but I dunno, maybe ask ur officer.

I don’t think you sign anything for confirmation. Maybe have a very upfront coffee chat with your boss about this. Nobody here can really help you

Need to check with agency and current employer appropriately.

The confirmation process is part of HR policy, which is part of larger corporate operating policy which you agreed to when you signed your employment contract. So it is incorporated indirectly as contractual terms. There's nothing to turn down or agree to on your part. There's actually nothing you can do to halt the process, unless your company's policies are weird.

You can't have your cake and eat it just so that the timing is right for you, unless you are fully upfront with your bosses about your plan to quit and they're so nice to allow you to adjust the timing.

Either suck it up and tender once your 3 months is up and pay the 1 month notice in lieu, or tell your potential new employers that your notice period upon confirmation is 2 months and ask whether they can wait for you. I'm surprised that you haven't told them this basic piece of information.

Hi thanks for the reply. The problem is the culture is something that I am not used to thus, I find myself not a fit for the role. And thru the agency which I had a contract with, it has to be 3 months staying on the company.

You are right, I have to be outfront with the new employers and I just did. I just got the interview yesterday and the contract with the job agency slipped out of my mind.

You never study? how nonsensical can you be?

"you can't have your cake and eat it" is an idiom! The use of the phrase, is to tell someone that they can't have two good things that don't normally go together at the same time, like eating a cake and then continuing to possess that same cake so you can eat later.
