What Is Notice Period?
A notice period is the time between resigning and the last working day. Its length is usually set in your contract or by local rules.
Why Notice Period Matters
Your notice period shapes when you can start a new job, so share it early with a new employer. Planning around it keeps the transition smooth and avoids broken commitments. It also gives you time for a clean handover.
Example
Your contract sets a four-week notice period. You tell the new employer you can start a month after you resign, and they adjust your start date to match.
