philgoddard: I think you may need to paraphrase more, but this is the right idea.

1 hr

-> Thanks, Phil! Yes, very likely; I hope this has at least given Asker some ideas.

agree

writeaway: agree with Phil. does give the gist. the Fr is perfectly clear. guess Eng is the rub

2 hrs

-> Thanks, W/A! Yup, looks like it...

agree

Timothy Rake: although, I would prefer the syntax "initiate a notice period of..."

4 hrs

-> Thanks, Timothy! Of course, that would be one option (though note singular 'date') — all depends how Asker chooses to re-phrase.

agree

rkillings: Even clearer: "… an *advance* notice period". / Yes, we say "give notice" in AmE, too -- but esp. when the French is 'préavis', it's just clearer to preserve the beforehand qualifier. The notice must come in advance of the event.

8 hrs

-> Thanks, R! In GB at least, we don't give 'advance notice' of dismissal, we simply 'give notice' — but perhaps it's different in AE?

neutral

Tim Webb: I'm not sure that a date [of delivery] can initiate a notice period. More like: a 2-week notice period will commence on the date the letter is first presented for delivery
