Termination of employment

The employer and the employee both have the option of terminating fixed-term employment if the appointment states “employment from…until further notice but no later than…”. The length of the employment period will determine the length of the notice of termination period.

If you receive a notice of termination you must sign and return the original document to the human resources administrator for circulation.
