with required notice and on the part of the company


Explanation:
There are legaly prescribed time periods in German-speaking countries for termination. These have to be upheld by the company, or the salary for this "Frist" has to be paid in full. In Austria, it's usually six weeks, although there are differences according to the job, and how long the person has been with the company. A person who quits is penalized when it comes to getting unemployment, so the fact that the person is being let go by the company is very important. He or she is being let go, but is not being fired, and there is no blame attached.
