Thank you for your question.

The Answer:

HaGaon Harav Amrom Fried Shelita says that you are obligated to pay the month as written in the contract.

The Answer Explained:

The Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat, Siman 333, writes that one who continues working even after the contract has expired is assumed to continue under the terms of the original agreement.

It is also brought in Shulchan Aruch, Siman 312, that one is obligated to give a one-month notice before leaving.

Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat, Siman 333 and Siman 312
