Document background
The 1 Week Notice document is a crucial employment termination instrument used in South Africa when an employee wishes to end their employment relationship with their employer. This notice period is typically applicable for employees who have been employed for six months or less, as per the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA). The document serves as formal written communication of the employee's intention to resign and includes essential information such as the effective date of resignation, last working day, and handover arrangements. It's designed to comply with South African labor law requirements while maintaining professional standards in employment termination. The 1 Week Notice is particularly relevant for probationary employees, temporary workers, or those in short-term employment arrangements, ensuring proper documentation of the employment termination process.
