Subject to sections 9, 51, 52 and 53, an employer shall give advance notice in writing to the affected employee of an intention to terminate that person's employment —
with respect to an employee within that person's probation period, at least twenty-four hours notice
with respect to all other employees, notice at least equal to the interval of time between the employee's pay days: Provided that in no case need the period of notice exceed thirty days unless an employment contract calls for a longer notice period.
Having given due advance notice to terminate employment, an employer may terminate the employment prior to the effective date of termination under the notice, provided that that employer pay the employee a sum equivalent to that which that employer would have paid if the employee had worked throughout the period.
If the employer has not exercised the option provided in subsection (2), that employer may require the employee to render that employee's normal services until the effective date of termination under the notice, at the regular wage last being received by the employee.
An employer, having given due notice to terminate employment and not having exercised the option provided in subsection (2), shall be discharged forthwith of any obligation to pay the involved employee's regular wage upon the employee voluntarily quitting that person's employment prior to the effective date of termination under the notice.
The provisions of this section are subject to the provisions of Part VII.
