My boss says Friday is my last day. I've worked here three years. Is that enough notice?
Probably not, if the Employment Act 1955 covers you. Under section 12(2), notice is whatever your written contract says. If it says nothing, three years' service means at least six weeks' notice, and it must be written (s 12(4)). Friday is far shorter, unless you waived notice. If the contract sets a period, that period applies. Check your contract and whether the Act covers you.
