The formula to calculate the notice period (NP) is:
\[ NP = \frac{WD \times D}{W} \]
Where:
Let's say the number of working days in a week is 5, the duration of the notice period is 4 weeks, and the total number of weeks in a month is 4. Using the formula:
\[ NP = \frac{5 \times 4}{4} \]
We get:
\[ NP = \frac{20}{4} = 5 \]
So, the notice period (\( NP \)) is 5 days.
A notice period is a length of time that an employee must give their employer before leaving their job, or that an employer must give an employee before terminating their employment. This period, usually stipulated in the employment contract, allows both parties to prepare for the transition. It can vary in length but is typically between one and three months. During this time, the employee is expected to continue their duties and the employer is required to pay the employee as usual.
