Got garden leave a few years ago. Best. Month. Ever. Still had the company car so I disappeared with the car, bike and tent for a month.

Usually leaving Company A to work for Company B and both companies are rivals or in the same industry. You get sent home as soon as you hand your notice in and spend your notice period at home. Better than you having access to sensitive material you might pass to your new employer.

I had 4 weeks of gardening leave last year... it was brilliant ๐Ÿ™‚

Try not to get too used to lying in though, it makes it very hard to start the new job on the right foot!
