I am advised that it has been a longstanding practice that there is a waiting period for people who leave employment of their own volition. It will no longer be viewed as a compliance breach. This is to encourage people to stay in employment until they find another job. Employment that ceases because a person is a victim of bullying or harassment or any other such behaviour would not be subject to a waiting period.
