Notice

When the contract of employment is brought to an end by the employer, the employee is entitled to receive notice of termination of employment.  The only exception is in the case of dismissal for Gross Misconduct where dismissal is without notice.

The length of notice is either contractual or statutory notice.  The notice can be either:

1. Worked

2. Served on Garden Leave

3. Paid under a PILON.

When it is the employee who wishes to terminate the contract of employment, they need to serve notice on the employer, which is as determined by either; the contract of employment, custom and practice or what is reasonable.
