What notice period am I entitled to in the UK?

After one month of employment, both employer and employee are entitled to at least one week's notice. After two years the employer must give at least one week for each complete year of service, up to a maximum of twelve weeks. The employee only has to give one week under the statute. A longer period applies if the employment contract says so.
