Your notice period is the time between resigning and your last working day, as set in your appointment letter or employment contract.
Forms ask it as: What is your notice period?
How forms ask it
- A number of days, sometimes with “(in days)” in the label.
- “How soon can you join?” or “When can you join?”, which asks the same fact.
- A start-date or start-month choice, where the date you pick should not be before your notice ends.
- “Are you currently serving notice?” as a yes or no question.
How to answer it
- Give the notice period in your appointment letter or contract, in the unit the form asks for (days or months).
- If you have already resigned, say so and give your last working day; that is usually more useful than the full notice length.
- Mention an early release or a notice buyout only if your employer has agreed to it.
- Do not write “immediate” unless you can start right away.
How Ezy Agent answers it
Ezy Agent fills notice and joining questions from the notice period you saved in your profile, and never picks a start date before your notice ends. If you have not saved one, it does not guess: the question comes to you.
More on what Ezy Agent fills and when it asks you is on How it works; packs and prices are on Pricing.

Questions
Is notice period asked in days or months?
Both appear. Answer in the unit the form asks for: 2 months is about 60 days.
What does “immediate joiner” mean?
Someone who can start without serving notice, for example because they are not employed or have finished their notice.
What is a notice period buyout?
Paying for the part of the notice you do not serve, by you or by the new employer, so you can leave early. It needs your current employer's agreement.
