Unless your employment contract specifies a longer period, the Employment Act sets minimum notice periods based on length of service: 1 day for less than 26 weeks of service, 1 week for 26 weeks to 2 years, 2 weeks for 2 to 5 years, and 4 weeks for more than 5 years of service. Your employer can end the contract earlier by paying salary in lieu of the full notice period. Longer notice periods stated in your contract will apply instead of these statutory minimums.
