What is my notice period if I want to leave Nasa?

If you have finished your contracting journey or need to close your account, this can be done in a couple of simple steps.

You do not need to provide a notice period to terminate your employment with Nasa Umbrella.

Assuming we are not mid-process of a payment to you, we are usually able to close accounts within 5 working days. 

If we were processing payroll for you, then we would need to wait until you had received this payment, as leaving Nasa/requesting your P45 ends your employment with us so we can no longer process payroll.


Your notice period with NASA is completely separate to the notice period you would need to serve to terminate your assignment, and terminating your assignment does not also automatically terminate your employment with us.

If you are ready to close your account with NASA (and have given your client / agency the relevant notice if you are also terminating that agreement), you can request your P45 online here.
