Creating notice periods

Notice periods determine the amount of time required to give termination notice to a resource. A notice period can be specified on a resource employment's contract. The notice period can be a flat number, a schedule that is based on age, a schedule that is based on length service, or no notice period.

    Notice Period Based On

    Select what the notice period schedule is based on. It can be based on length of service (weeks, months, or years), based on age, or be a flat period.

    Service Calculated From

    If you selected a notice period based on Weeks of Service, Months of Service, or Years of Service, select the date from which to start calculating the notice period. For example, the Adjusted Start Date.

    If you selected Age or Flat as the basis for the notice period, leave this field blank.

    Plus An Additional
