How Much Notice Should You Give Your Employees?

By Rehana Hussain of Charles Gregory Solicitors Limited posted in Employment on Tuesday, April 12, 2016.

We are often asked by our clients what notice period should they give their employees' in their contract of employment. The straight answer is that under s.86 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 you must give your employees the statutory minimum notice. The minimum statutory notice is calculated as follows:

Between 1 month and 2 years of employment - 1 week's notice required;

Between 2 and 12 years of employment - 1 week for every year worked up to a maximum of 12 weeks.

However, you are free to provide incoming employees, in their contract of employment, a longer period of notice. We advised our clients to provide 3-6 months notice period for senior managers to give themselves enough time to replace the senior employee without having any disruptions to their business.
