Resignation advice!

[Robbo]

Hi all,

Having been at my current job just a few months, I decided that it wasnt for me (various reasons) and have found another doing something I much prefer (Web Designer!).

Due to this I am required to resign from my current job, which is a division of the Council. In my contract it says I must give one months notice, however, they arent able to force me to go in for this one month are they (im NOT expecting to be paid for it as im not going in obviously) Under some stupid rule of taking pay back or anything (if that is even possible)?.

Also, I am still under the probationary period if that matters at all. There really isnt anything more under the contract information other than the one month mentioned above.

Just wondered if there is anything I should be careful of or any good things to put in it, however I imagine its very different for each individual person but I just wanted any advice if you folks wouldn't mind

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the replies guys, as I said, I am asking first and not intending to be unprofessional about it. I dont really think its fair to drag that kind of debate in here really when I have only given a very light backstory, there have been quite a lot of breaches of my contract and strange goings on to start with by the employer, so that could probably be used in my favour if they tried to get me to work longer (which I doubt they will anyway).

Thanks again for the advice.
