Common questions

Is this legal advice?

No. This is general rule-based information. Check the result against the current official NSW Fair Trading guidance before acting.

Does the service day count?

No. The service day is excluded from the notice-period calculation used by this tool.

What if my situation is not listed?

The calculator returns “needs official check” instead of borrowing a date from a similar pathway.
