Explained in Chapter 9, People and Incentives, of Legal Due Diligence.

The main page for this term is Notice period, in Employment Contracts.

How it comes up, in Chapter 9
Here the employee's notice period matters, because either person could be gone a month after resigning. Senior staff often have three to twelve months' notice. That gives the business time to find and train a successor.
