- 4
- Service Calendar Days
- 2,469
Assumptions and estimates
- Employer statutory minimum: at least 13 weeks (91 elapsed calendar days) and under 2 years one week; 2–under 5 years two; 5–under 10 four; 10–under 15 six; 15+ eight. Dates are compared with actual UTC calendar anniversaries, assuming all entered service is continuous and reckonable. A 29 February start ending on 28 February at a relevant non-leap anniversary requires legal confirmation. Contractual notice can be longer; gross misconduct or waiver can affect entitlement. Pay estimates ordinary notice earnings, not an automatic entitlement to payment in lieu.
- Method: Employer notice escalates from one to eight weeks with service; use the greater contractual minimum. Calendar anniversaries determine years; the initial threshold is 13 complete weeks.
- Rates/conditions reviewed against the linked official sources on 5 October 2026. Confirm the stated scope before relying on the result.
