Signing a Definite-term Labor Contract Requires at Least 30 Days Prior Notice for Resignation

Clause 1, Article 35 of the Labor Code 2019 stipulates: An employee has the right to unilaterally terminate the labor contract but must notify the employer in advance as follows:

b) At least 30 days if working under a definite-term labor contract with a term from 12 months to 36 months;

c) At least 03 working days if working under a definite-term labor contract with a term of less than 12 months;

...

Thus, it is necessary to base on the duration of the signed labor contract to determine the notice period required when an employee unilaterally terminates the labor contract.

To be specific:, for a labor contract with a term from 12 months to 36 months, the employee needs to give at least 30 days' notice; for a labor contract with a term of less than 12 months, only at least 3 days' notice is required.

Respectfully!
