Notice pay

A broad employee-friendly phrase people use for money connected to a notice period. The precise meaning depends on jurisdiction and context.

What it is not: Do not treat notice pay as the same thing as severance pay, vacation pay, or long service payment.

Example: If an employer ends employment immediately but notice would otherwise continue, a notice-related amount may need review.
