Notice Templates

A Notice of Meeting of a Company is a document informing the members or directors of a company about an upcoming meeting. This document specifies the date, time and place of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting.

A notice is a formal means of communication. The purpose of a notice is to announce or display information to a specific group of people. Notices are generally meant to be pinned up on specific display boards whether in schools or in public places.
 

The notice period is the time period between the receipt of the letter of dismissal and the end of the last working day. This time period has to be given to an employee by their employer before their employment ends.

A notice is a statement about a meeting or an event while an agenda is a collection of things to be done in a meeting. For the board meetings of companies, a notice is issued to all eligible members indicating the venue, date, and time of the meeting while an agenda has a list of topics to be discussed in that meeting.

The different notices that can be forwarded by an employer to an employee include:

• Statutory Notice: Statutory notice is the minimum legal notice that an employer must give an employee. This is one week’s notice if the employee has been employed within the business for one month or more, but less than two years.
• Contractual Notice: The contractual notice is the notice set out in the terms and conditions of employment; this can be longer, but not shorter than the statutory notice.
• Dismissal without notice (summary dismissal): If you decide to dismiss an employee without notice, which can only be on the grounds of gross misconduct, then you must give the employee a clear indication of why their actions constituted gross misconduct and led to their instant dismissal. 
• Fixed Term Contracts: No notice for a fixed-term contract will need to be given unless the contract is due to be terminated before the expiry date. If you are ending a fixed-term contract before the expiry date you must give the correct amount of statutory notice to the employee.
