Can the notice period stated in the employment contract be expressed in days or weeks instead of months?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, the notice period in the employment contract can be in days, weeks or months. To minimise disputes, if the notice period is expressed in days, the contract should specify if these are calendar days (inclusive of public holidays and non-working days) or working days.
