Question

Answer 1

Ethically, a two week notice should be given on any job. A week is okay too if that is all you can give. Some give a month's notice. Though this depends on the type of job and schedule you're leaving. A person with good values and ethics will know what to do, what to say and what to ask a prospected employee. As well as when leaving one. How you leave a job is important to how you get one.

Answer 2

It depends on why they are leaving and what the contract of employment states.

Most employers require notice equivalent to a pay period. IE weekly paid, 1 week; monthly paid, 1 month if it is just someone moving on for their own reasons.

If however, it is because of redundancy, 13 weeks notice is required and the person should be paid 1 week for each year of service, 1.5 if over 50 years old.

These rules apply to anyone working over 8 hours per week.

Answer 3

Around here, standard notice to an employer the one is leaving is 2 weeks. Standard notice to an employee that they are no longer going to working there is none.

Answer 4

When the probation period is over - usually between 1 and 3 months - it is LAW that either side MUST give a minimum of 4 weeks notice (regardless of the number of hours the individual works.

Answer 5

It depends on their contract - it should specify what notice they need to give. If they never received a contract, it will go off what people normally do. If s/he doesnt know anyone else who left, then it is normally the pay period - ie monthly pay - months notice, weekly pay - weeks notice.
Although some places expect one weeks notice for each year worked!

Answer 6

I've been looping the loop for the past 29 months and I still do not know what to make of the whole violation notice set up And neither do the employees judging by the appeals notices that go unheeded. They probably have to drink themselves to oblivion to stay sane.

Answer 7

Employees are expected to give their Employer notice equivalent to their pay period (i.e. weekly paid = 1 weeks notice, monthly paid = 1 months notice), or as specified in their Contact of Employment.

(Of course, if the employee wants to leave 'early', there is not much point in attempting to force him/her to work and most places won't object - of course you won't be paid for time you don't work).

Employers have to give Employees one week per year of service (to a max. of 12 weeks).

Answer 8

It depends upon what the employer policy says and what has been agreed in the contract b/w the employer and the employee irrespective of the length of service. Even in the case of the part time the conditions of employement will still apply.

Answer 9

should be 2 weeks

Answer 10
