You can end your employment relationship by giving notice. You can do this at any time, provided you comply with the notice period prescribed in your employment contract, or a reasonable notice period if the contract does not provide for a notice period. What is appropriate depends on your particular situation, such as how long you have been in your position and what your position is.

This means that if the employee has given two weeks` notice, they may still have to give four weeks` notice, and depending on when they leave, this could impact their last salary.

Notice periods must be given in writing – not by telephone or verbally.

The employer cannot simply assume that the employee wanted to resign in this situation. The employer may dismiss an employee without notice for serious misconduct. The employment contract or the company`s internal policies may contain a list of employee behaviors or actions that the employer may consider to be serious misconduct. Examples of serious misconduct may include dishonesty, theft or unauthorized possession of employer property; a serious refusal or failure to comply with an appropriate request, direction, rule, policy or procedure; and physical assault, threats or intimidation. However, what is considered serious differs from employer to employer. If an employee quits, the employer must first review their employment contract to ensure that they have given the correct notice period. The termination of an employment relationship must be addressed by one party (employee or employer) to the other party.
