Probation period

Question

I suspect that my company is going to let me go. I have been with them less than the six month probation period. I understand that notice is seven days from either employer or employee wishing to terminate during probation.

I would like to know if there are any legal implications or obligations if they let me go during this time? What if I leave them?

And what about professionally, in terms of how it looks on my CV or to explain - better to be let go or better to resign (still in probation period)?

Any other questions I should be asking or addressing?

Thank you very much for any constructive advice or information.

One week is the norm while inside the six months trial period. No potential employer will blame you if you have not finished your trial period, specially in the current economic climate.
If you decide to resign it may suggest you are unstable unless you've got good reasons to do so.
