Most conversations about termination notice in Prince Edward Island focus on what an employer owes. The province's official Notice of Termination guide also describes a duty running the other way. An employee who voluntarily resigns from a provincially regulated job ordinarily owes the employer written advance notice, and the length depends on how long the person has worked continuously for that employer. According to the guide, an employee with less than six months of continuous employment owes no notice. From six months up to five years, the employee owes one week. At five years or longer, the figure is two weeks. The guide says both employers and employees normally must give notice in writing, though an inspector can accept verbal notice where it's confirmed. That verbal flexibility is worth reading carefully. The guide frames it as something an inspector can accept. It doesn't say verbal notice is the default or that writing is optional in ordinary practice. The employer side is more graduated and starts sooner.
