notice period

Departure warning time

A notice period is the required time between announcing you're leaving a job and your last day of work.

Employment contracts typically specify how much notice either party must give: My notice period is two weeks.

The term appears mainly in British English and formal HR contexts; Americans more often say two weeks' notice without the phrase.
