First Thing is First | In most cases, people leaving their jobs will be contractually obligated to keep working a little while longer. Most of us can’t just walk out without first completing a notice period. This is usually a minor issue and doesn’t detract too much from the gravity of the moment. That said, it does raise some interesting questions, like – Do  you have to work during the notice? Can the  notice period be reduced? And can I get out of my notice period altogether? What happens if you do not serve notice? Guest: Gugulethu Mthalane, Director and Head of Employment Law at Lawtons Africa
