No notice will be given to any employee dismissed on the grounds of misconduct/gross misconduct; the council may decide to waive the requirement for you to work the whole, or part, of the notice period. In this situation, you will be advised accordingly and will receive payment in lieu as compensation for, and equivalent to, any basic pay and contractual working allowance, which would have been earned during that part of the period of notice outstanding. You will also receive a sum equivalent to any accrued holiday entitlement outstanding as at the end of the period of notice; you may ask the council to agree to waive the requirement to work the whole or part of the notice period. Should the council agree, you will not receive payment for that period waived. If you fail to give the required period of notice, a sum equivalent to the period of notice not given will be deducted from any outstanding monies due to you (including accrued holiday entitlement); any payment made in lieu of notice is subject to tax and national insurance.
