A better offer can be a positive step, but changing jobs should be planned rather than rushed. The most useful comparison is not only the salary; it is the complete package of contract, schedule, commute, stability and administrative process.
Why this matters now
Before resigning, ask the future employer for a written description of the position and start date. Explain your current status honestly and ask what the employer must do to formalise your new employment.
A practical plan
- Compare the old and new offer line by line: pay, type of contract, hours, location and notice period.
- Ask what documents the new employer needs and who will complete the employment formalities.
- Keep evidence of your final payment, leave settlement and employment end date from the previous job.
What to check before you act
Do not assume that a process used by one employer automatically applies in the same way to another. For status-specific questions, confirm the current procedure with an official source or legal adviser.
