What notice am I entitled to if my employer terminates my employment?

It depends on how long you have been employed by the employer. The requirements are

• one week notice for employment of three months or more, but less than two years;
• two weeks notice for employment of two years or more, but less than four years;
• four weeks notice for employment of four years or more, but less than six years;
• five weeks notice for employment of six years or more, but less than eight years;
• six weeks notice for employment of eight years or more, but less than ten years;
• eight weeks notice for employment of ten years or more.

Your employer can provide you with pay for the same period instead of a notice period at work, or a mixture of pay and notice.
