XpertHR is running a short benchmarking survey on employee notice periods, focusing on resignations outside the probationary period.
The research looks at the use of fixed-term and variable notice periods for employee resignations, and the specific arrangements that apply for directors and managers, and manual and non-manual staff.
It also covers arrangements for employees who are not required to work their full notice period on resignation, including payments in lieu of notice and garden leave.

Previous XpertHR research on employee notice periods – conducted in 2010 – found that in cases of resignation, the most common length of notice period was one month (used by two-thirds of organisations). Nearly half (49%) of respondents said that employees who resigned were typically expected to work their full notice period. A similar number said this was agreed on an individual basis.
The survey closes on Friday 12 August 2016.
