Unless a contract stipulates a longer period for termination of a contract of employment, an employee shall give notice in writing in accordance with the following —
for an employee on probation, section 8 (4) applies;
for all other employees, notice shall be equal to the interval of time between pay days, but the maximum period of notice required in any circumstances shall be thirty days.
An employee who fails to give adequate notice (which complies with subsection (1)) may, at the employer's option,
be dismissed prior to the date on which appropriate notice would have expired and the effective date of his dismissal shall be back-dated by the same number of hours or days by which the employee's notice, or lack of it, fell short of the requirement; and
forfeit all vacation leave accrued during the calendar year in which he leaves employment.
