Generally, an employer must not terminate an employee's employment unless they have given the employee written notice of the last day of employment. An employer can either let the employee work through their notice period or pay it out to them (also known as pay in lieu of notice). The amount of notice depends on the age of the employee, their employment type and how long they have been employed on a continuous basis by the employer. For more information on notice of termination, including the minimum notice period which must be given to an employee, and any exceptions, please see our Notice of termination and redundancy pay fact sheet at fairwork.gov.au/factsheets
