[HeatherMCP]

Hello,

I am look for some answers on my employee contract. I am look at leaving the company I currently work with but i need to understand the verbage in my contract. My contract states the following if some one could tell me what it means it would help out great.

Contract states.

At the option of either party upon thirty days notice or pay in lieu of notice with or without cause.

Please help!
thanks

It appears that if you want to leave you must give 30 day notice. However you should show the document to an Attorney familar with employment law and/or contracts.

thanks... my question is about the in lieu of pay. mostly i understand that i have to give 30 days notice but does the in lieu of pay mean they can let me go before the 30 day? if they do, do they have to pay me?

Once more let an Attorney view your contract but I would guess yes they must
