So that they can find a replacement when accessing the amount of notice courts look at many factors(listed below) Why do require employers to give employees reasonable notice - employee have basic necessities for life and they need time to secure another position gives employees a cushion. Case: gastops v. foreyth employees quit gave 2 weeks notice and created there own business, there is no non-competition clause, employer goes to court and argues that 10 months of notice should have been given. If the court sided with the employer they employees were actually in breach of a contract implied term as they set up a business in the middle of the contract term.
