The period of notice to be given by an employer and an employee in the event of termination of employment is the same and is defined by the length of service, as follows:

  • i. for service (in the industry) of up to 1 year, 8 days’ notice
  • ii. for service (in the industry) of 1 to 2 years, 14 days’ notice
  • iii. for service (in the industry) of 2 years and over, 28 days’ notice.
It should be noted that in cases where the provisions of the Termination of Employment Law are more favourable than the provisions of this Law (regarding the period of notice), then the provisions of the Termination of Employment Law will apply.

Specifically:

  • i. for service (to the same employer) for 3 to 4 years, 5 weeks’ notice
  • ii. for service (to the same employer) for 4 to 5 years, 6 weeks’ notice
  • iii. for service (to the same employer) for 5 to 6 years, 7 weeks’ notice
  • iv. for service (to the same employer) for 6 to 7 years, 8 weeks’ notice
