Putting in your notice...

[DoubleDuff]

I've heard from other Tiffs (who ironically also have their notice in) that the return of service is 8½ years from the date you joined up. So assuming you give 12 months notice to leave, you can apply at the 7½ point.

Question is, say someone joined 25 December 2004 (for example), then 7½ years down the line would put them at the end of May 2012. Could they apply the day before (ie 24th May 2012), or would it have to be the 25th May onwards?

Guess it is the same if you do the full 22 years, do you leave the day before the date you joined up all those years ago?

Hopefully all that makes sense :-?

Thanks

Why don't you just do it and see what the UPO says? Less spit. More chit!

Does it make any real difference? - if in doubt go a day later, you get an extra days pay!

I think you need to count how many months ther are from December to May, starting at the 25th...
just do it on the relevant day. By risking it, you'll end up going a day early (or in your case a month) and losing any entitlements you may have had. Play it safe. What's the rush?
