Notice periods under LAS: how much notice you are entitled to
Your notice period depends on how long you have been employed and what your collective agreement says. Here is an overview of the rules in Section 11 of LAS.
Editorial team,Felaktigt Uppsagd
Section 11 of LAS provides for a minimum notice period of one month. The notice period the employer must give increases in stages with your length of service, up to six months after at least ten years of employment.
Collective agreements may contain different rules on notice periods. Always check what applies at your workplace.
During the notice period, you are generally entitled to salary and other employment benefits, even if the employer releases you from your duty to work. If you are dismissed on grounds of redundancy while on full-time parental leave, special rules apply to when the notice period begins; see dismissal during parental leave.
Whether other income earned during the notice period may be offset depends on legislation, your contract, and collective agreements. Consider having someone review what applies in your particular case.
