I was given 4 weeks notice by my previous employer.
How many day's pay should they give me ?
My usual monthly pay? OR 20 days pay ?

I don't know, so this is just an assumption, but I'd assume it to be the pay you would normally receive for 4 weeks, and four weeks is not quite the same as a month.
12 months to a year, so a month = a year /12 = 365 / 12, = 30.42 days.
But for 4 weeks .....
A year = 52 weeks, therefore 1 week 365/52 = 7.019 days, and therefore
4 weeks = 28.07 days.
So, in round numbers, and rounded down (which may well be rounding the wrong way)
1 month = 30 days
4 weeks = 28 days.
Think of it this way.
The pay cycle used to pay people varies. Some are oaid weekly, some 4-weekly, and some monthly.
If you are paid monthly, you get 12 payments per year. If you are paid 4-weekly, you get 13, but each will be smaller.
The real answer to your question should be in your contract, and/or staff manual, which should spell out the exact procedure, usually (in the manual) in nauseating detail. The last one I checked out for a friend was a 300-page PDF.
Yeah, 300 flaming pages of do's and don'ts.![]()
But I stress my first comment .... I don't know, I'm just assuming.
Oh, and you may need to work from working days, rather than calendar days. The above is to illustrate the difference.
it depends if you have to work your notice and if your contract states you get paid if you don't work (ie. paid sickpay). but 4 weeks is just as it says, 4 weeks pay. so salary/52 weeks to give weekly pay x 4 weeks notice = what you get. in days it depends on how many days you are contracted to work, it's simply 4 weeks times the number of contracted days, so 4 x 5 = 20 for example if you work a 5 day week
if you are required to work your notice but don't, they may not have to pay you unless you provide sicklines and you are entitled to sick pay. if you just say "stuff it, i'm not coming back" they might not have to pay you. it depends what your contract says. if they give you 4 weeks notice and you don't have to return to work (ie. it's payment in lieu of notice), you get the 4 weeks pay as above. this is taxable and NI'able. redundancy pay under £30k has no tax or NI
Slightly off topic since 4 weeks is 4 weeks...
Some companies calculate partial monthly payments based upon the calendar. So if you work 20 days in a 30 day month (regardless of weekends) then you get 2/3's of the months salary. Nokia used to work this way rather than calculating actual days worked within the period, since the monthly payroll was 1/12 of your annual salary, regardless of working days per month.
If your payroll is calculated like this, always leave work on a Monday. that way you get paid for the weekend as well.
It's whatever your contract of employment says it is. All we can do is speculate.
Presumably it's however many days they want you to work. Or are they paying you in lieu of notice?
Hi, contract doesn't state this
I was given my notice 3 weeks ago, but dont have to work out my notice ( yay )
Now, they gave me my notice on the 13th of Feb. So, they should be paying me 13 days + 28 days ( 4 weeks ) = 29 working days' pay.
I have only been paid for 18 as mentioned on my final payslip and HR are ignoring my emails.. hmmm
how many days per week were you contracted to work? if it was 5 then it sounds like you've been underpaid. if they don't answer emails, phone them
I booked thee weeks holiday, giving one week's notice for the holiday and then handed my notice in a day later so in effect I only had a week to work, which my manager gave me as 1 week's paid "garden" leave, so I only ended up working 2 days after handing in my notice and that was so that I could complete a handover quickly and efficiently.
So 4 weeks at 5 days/week is 20 days. You have been paid 18, leaving 2 unaccounted for. Did you taken holiday that you have not actually accrued?
As an example, if you get half a day for every week worked, giving 26 days/year, you work for 26 weeks but have taken 14 days holiday, that would be a day taken that you hadn't actually earned and weren't entitled to be paid.

a quick phone call to HR/payroll may have been easier, as it's harder to avoid. if neither take your call, then speak to your line manager and ask them to sort it out with HR/payroll and get back to you
but as peterb says, if you've used more holidays than your entitlement accrued to at your leaving date, then they may deduct that from your final pay if you contract allows it
