How much advance notice are you entitled to when terminated ?

When an employee is terminated from his/her position they are entitled by law to advance notice from the employer. The amount of advance notice is based on an employee’s tenure with the employer as well as his pay rate.

For employees being paid at an hourly or daily rate the employee is entitled to:

During the first year = 1 day for each month worked.
During the 2nd year = 14 days + 1 day for each two months worked.
During the 3rd year = 21 days + 1 day for each month worked.
From 4 years and on – one month’s notice.

For employees being paid at a monthly rate, the employee is entitled to:
During the first 6 months = 1 day for each month worked.
From the 7th month until the completion of 1 year = 6 days + 2 1/2 days for each month worked.
After completion of 1 year tenure = one month’s notice.
