Serving Your Notice Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most employment contracts in South Africa require a <strong>notice period<\/strong>, which is usually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 week<\/strong> if employed for less than 6 months<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 weeks<\/strong> if employed between 6 months and 1 year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4 weeks<\/strong> if employed for over a year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this time, you\u2019re expected to continue working and delivering on your responsibilities unless the employer waives the notice or agrees otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Always give your resignation in writing and follow the terms outlined in your employment contract or the <strong>Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA).<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Access to References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may request a <strong>written reference<\/strong> from your former employer. While it\u2019s not legally required, most companies are willing to confirm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your job title<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employment dates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General duties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good reference can strengthen your next job application, so it\u2019s worth asking politely before leaving.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
