Leaving, exit and end of contracts procedures

Notice periods

Both the council and the employee are normally entitled to a minimum period of notice of termination of employment.

The minimum periods of notice to terminate employment are listed in the Employee Handbook.

Leaver form

Managers must complete a leaver’s form as soon as an employee resigns from their post – either for another internal post or if they are leaving the council.
