	Your employer can then....

1. Grovel.
2. Request you leave now and pay you 1 months wages.
3. Arrange a day with you to the gain of both parties. (May be sooner or 
later)

	It is usally best to leave as soon after pay day as possible! The month is 
usally in you gain and in theirs. It means that if they fire you they have to 
pay you a months wages or keep you on for that month (give a months notice 
for reduntancy etc) 
	The rule is a two way thing. But so long as you and your employer agree 
anything can be done. Its only in cases of disbute where the law steps in.
