Understand your agreement

Notice period: find the answer in your employment terms

The answer may depend on your agreement, service, local law, collective terms and who ends the employment. A generic number is rarely enough.

Updated October 2026

Find the relevant facts

Locate the start date, probation terms, notice clause, collective agreement references and any difference between employee and employer notice.

Separate notice from the final date

A stated period does not always equal the number of days from notice to departure. Month-end wording and local rules can affect the date.

Clarify the consequences

Garden leave, holiday, bonus and restrictive covenants may matter after notice. Use the report to identify questions and seek local professional advice when needed.

General information, not legal advice. Confirm your actual notice under the agreement and rules that apply in your country.
