What’s garden leave? Never heard of it
It’s paid leave whilst they see through the notice period but they don’t actually work and not allowed to start a new job either. organisations will put you on ‘garden leave’ if you resign (or are given notice/sacked) if it’s better for the business.
In private sector this may be because they don’t want someone who is leaving the company continuing to work with clients (risk of poaching for example). But there are all sorts of reasons why garden leave may be appropriate.
i really don’t know how it works in the military/navy though.
