The maximum notice period is now capped at 52 weeks, equivalent to 17 years of seniority. This cap gives businesses more predictability and helps preserve their competitiveness by avoiding overly long and hard-to-manage notice periods. For employees, it also means they are not stuck too long in an uncertain or unwanted situation. With a clearer framework, everyone can reorient more quickly, prepare for what comes next, and more easily seize a new professional opportunity.
