AFAIK You need to give 1 months notice to get all your pay and your full pension!!
If you resign on the spot, you get nothing! no pay for that month, no pro rata and also your pension is up to 40% less.

I have been working for a company for just over 7 years and I am sure I did not get a contract of employment (just an offer letter) A colleague who has recently handed her notice in did get a contract and she had been there for 6 years. As per her contract she has to work 6 weeks notice. Seeing I don't have a contract would I have to work 7 weeks notice (I am assuming it is a week per year you have been there after a certain period) Could I get away with just giving 4 weeks notice? If I have signed a contract, and it states that I would have to give 7 weeks notice can they hold me to it? I have spent all weekend turning the house upside down looking for the offer letter I had all those years ago....

This is a tricky one!
If there is no written contract in place then it is taken that you have an understanding to a verbal contract!
Basically it goes on the understanding of:
Time in Job Minimum Notice
Under 1 month No Notice
Over 1 month 1 Week
2 years' service 2 Weeks
3 years' service 3 Weeks
4 years' service 4 Weeks
As for your pay if it is a week in hand and you have no written contract, it is illegal for them to withhold your money AFAIK!
And holiday pay works out on how they work it! do your holidays run from new year to new year? as you normally earn half a days holiday per week which over 48 weeks gives you 20 days holiday so as we are in week 33 you would be entitled to 16.5 days holiday pay (there abouts) so deduct from that any days holiday you have already had! if you have taken more than 16.5 days already this year then you'll owe them money!
This is as far as I understand it! My employees all sign contracts drawn up by myself and my accountant takes care of the holiday pay etc
As Masseur would say "unless I'm very much mistaken"!!

Who is entitled to a rest break at work?
Most workers are entitled to daily and weekly rest breaks, and rest breaks during the course of the working day. Whether you are paid or not for these breaks will depend on what your employment contract says.
There are some workers who have no automatic legal entitlement to a rest break, and there are special rules about rest breaks for young people and lorry or coach drivers (see below).
What rest breaks can you take?
Rest breaks during the working day
If you are aged 18 or over, and your working day is at least 6 hours, you have the right to an uninterrupted rest break of at least 20 minutes. Your contract of employment may be more generous than this. There is no law about when this break should happen although government guidelines say that the break should be taken during the day rather than at the beginning or the end. You are entitled to spend your break away from your workstation. Lunch breaks count as rest breaks.
Daily rest breaks
If you are aged 18 or over, you are entitled to eleven hours rest in a row between each working day.
Weekly rest breaks
If you are aged 18 or over, you are entitled to take one days rest in each working week. This may be averaged over a two week period, for example, you would be entitled to two days rest over a fortnight. A week runs from midnight on Sunday to midnight the following Sunday.
Who is not entitled to rest breaks?
The law says that there are some types of workers who are not entitled to rest breaks. If you work in any of the jobs listed below you will have to check your employment contract to see if you are entitled to take rest breaks.
