Notice period calculator Rwanda
Ending an employment contract of indefinite duration needs notice. Enter how long you have worked and see the legal minimum and the salary it covers.
How it's calculated
- Less than one year with the employer: at least 15 days.
- More than one year: at least 30 days.
- When the employer gives notice, the employee may take one day off a week to look for a new job.
- The salary for the notice period is shown as monthly salary divided by 30, times the days of notice.
An example
After two years on RWF 300,000 a month, the employer must give at least 30 days' notice. You may take four days off in that time to look for work.
Frequently asked questions
What if the notice is not given?
The side that ends the contract without notice, or without the full notice, must pay the other side compensation for it.
Can I be given notice while on leave?
No. The employer cannot terminate the contract while you are on leave or while your contract is suspended.
Is there notice during probation?
No. The law does not allow notice to be given during the probation period.
What about gross misconduct?
The employer can end the contract without notice for gross misconduct, but must tell you in writing within 48 hours, with the reasons.
