Hopefully some of you guys will have been through this before, so could you share some experience??

Ok, so I just informed my employers of one of my jobs that I won't be with them for much longer. What needs to be done paperwork wise?

I was using this job as my primary income job, so it get's taxed the least out of the ones I have.. I don't want to get taxed at a very high rate at my new one if you know what I mean. Do I need to get a group cert for tax adjustments at the end of this financial year? What about super?

Is there anything else I'm missing??

Thanks guys and gals, your help is much appreciated :)

Hand in your letter of resignation.

Read your agreement though, it will state how much notice you are required to give.

1-2-3-4 weeks is around the time most require

Your primary job will have the tax free threshold claimed im assuming.

All you do once you leave, is then tell your new primary employer you would like to "claim the tax free threshold" with them, and they will change you over.

It doesnt really matter if you dont, you'll just get taxed more each pay, but come tax return time you'll get a lump sum payment.

I dont claim it, and i get around a 5k tax return each year :)

Tax - i assume you have an accountant already? If not, i know just the man for you :)

Super, i assume you know what super your with? You can either send them a letter or call them.

And you will need to provide details of where you want your super account you want it t be "rolled into".

Thats all the comes to mind, if you have any more Q's, post away matey :O

its not hard.

I have many jobs and all I do is get a resignation letter (btw there is a eb site to fill them out easily :() and put on it the time when you want to go...forget your contract for the minute.

Then when u give it to them, if they agree you go when you want. MOst people with real jobs need to give 4 weeks but I have never stayed longer than 3.

THey will talk to you about the date, if they think its a big deal just do whatever they say inline with your employment agreement, you dont want to upset them too much cos u never know when u may meet again.

Always thank them for the oppatunity and tell them the new job is helping you achieve your goals blah blah...try not t bag people out...or say to your boss she is a dumb bitch with no idea...haha I have the refrain every day.

also if your about to quit, remember to be 'sick' a couple of days here and there if you have any sick days left :( seems you dont get them when you leave.

I would not do it...as a boss its obvious and really pisses you off. Try and keen on OK relationship with ur boss, u might need them for a reference later or they may turn up again - u never know.

you don't get piad out for sick days.

I'm considering handing mine in to my work, however they require 7 weeks notice !!

Wow you must be important at your workplace, thats crazy.

Its about the only time its good to be a casual worker. I had a guy a few weeks ago give two weeks notice, then just walk out after the first 5 mins of his shift saying "i cant be f@$ked any more".

Then he rang up looking for a reference!!

When I was working casual many years ago and the company was pissing me off and giving me all the crap shifts, so I just didnt bother turning up 1 week. When they called me and asked where I was I told them 'I quit' on the phone and that was the end of it.

Well thats another way to go about it :D

Thanks for the help guys, it's only casual work so I don't think I have to give much notice (or any).

Cheers

Yeah mate no notice needed if youre casual, so walk out at the start of the day if you dont care...

If you do care then it would be nice to give them 2 weeks notice (or however far ahead the rosters are done).

when i worked for jeans west , the tossers done the smart thing, instead they jsut cut back my shifts wk after wk and eventually never called me up.

so i got revenge at my next place, i walked in told them after 5yrs (i started when i was 15) that i've had enough of the shitty hours and wanna leave, so took my apron of and put it on the bench at the end of the shift and never went back.

yep. These bastards underpay me for the work that I do, have been cutting back my hours, f**king up the roster without telling me.. AND worse of all they signed me up for a traineeship, so that they could get about 4k worth of government incentives. Absoloute crap.

If your casual or doing a traineeship Im sure you can ring them and just fax the letter of resignation so you dont have to see them.

I worked at this shithole helpdesk for pharmacies for 4 weeks and couldnt heck it, so I rang em and told them I wish to quit, they asked me to bring them a formal letter with my resignation, I asked if I can fax it... went to my old employer (got my old job back which I loved) and faxed it from there :laugh:

If you have been with a company for a long time and have a perm pos then its diff.

some employers can be sh1t. I've been trying to find another one but haven't got a chance to get interviews... nothing too much wrong with mine except that we're a bit underpaid compared to the rest of the industry and for some how they got away to classify us as clerical admin until last month rather than IT (we do data processing - please doesn't that compute to you as IT?) - nevertheless I've been with the current work for over 4 years, and have seen other people come and go. just waiting to "cash off" my overdue annual leave for 6 weeks then after that it may be my turn of luck to change for a better career...

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
