My contract of employment (amongst other things) says that I have to give my employer 3 months notice if I plan to leave while they have to give only 1 month. Whilst this seems a little loaded in the companys favour I guess this is probably legal... however if an employee hands in their 3 months notice - is it legal for the company to serve 1 months notice on an employee to avoid the 3 months notice period? Also during the 3 month notice period... I understand that the company has to allow an employee time off to go to interviews - but can they treat this as unpaid leave?

Also if a contract says that an employees salary will be reviewed annually and its not been reviewed in 5 years are they in breach of contract. If so... if the employer says that they have reviewed annually and decided that no pay rise is to be awarded... should they keep documentary evidence to prove this has taken place? If some is mysteriously generated should it be signed by both parties so that they are both aware it has been carried out?

Thanks in advance.
