My question is in the title. My contract, secondary teacher in a voluntary secondary school, requires three months notice to resign or retire. Therefore teachers retiring at the end of the school year on 31st August would have given notice by 31st May at the latest. My question is, what happens if, for whatever reason, you're not on time with your notice and likewise with your application to retire? Suppose you only give 6 or 8 weeks notice? While I understand that this may lead to a delay in paying the pension and lump sum, is the employer, in my case the DES, still legally obliged to date and pay pension from the date of retirement, even if the payment is delayed? Or is there a financial penalty for late notice? Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer this.
I can’t imagine how there would be.Or is there a financial penalty for late notice?

I know first-hand that schools are scrambling to find staff at the moment so I think it’s best to give as much notice as you can the contract is irrelevant.Yes, no doubt it's bad manners and I think most professionals would like to end their working lives with dignity and fairness to their organisation.
