1. As for the Workers who are paid their Remuneration annually or monthly, the notification shall be made before one month from the date of termination of the Employment Contract if the service period is five years or less. If the service period is more than five years, the period of notification shall be two months at least.

If the duration of employment is less than one year, the notice period shall be at least one week.
