text: can job leaving notification period be more than 1 month? i have a job offer that requires me to sign a contract in which one of the clause is to notify the employer 2-months in advance for terminating the job.  mostly, what i have heard and seen in my 4 year career is that the notification period is of 1 month (4-weeks). they can put anything they like but there is no law which says you have to go to work on any particuar days with or without a contract.  so they may be able to contract you to give 2 months notice and you can give them that but they can't make you work it.
