What is Notice Period?
The required advance notification time before an employee or employer can end the employment relationship, governed by law, contract, or company policy.
Why it matters in hiring
Notice Period comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
