“The Employee must give the Employer a written 45-day notice (July 30th, 2013) before renewal or non-renewal of the Employee’s current contract.”
On July 30, 2013, the night my vacation started, I sent the notification by email that I would not be staying, and Wednesday I left a paper copy on the desk of the supervisor. My last day will be September 13th.
I requested that the above be written into my contract when I signed it almost one year ago. It was one the points of unclarity I requested be made explicit. I wanted management to treat me fairly such as to resolve my employment situation in a reasonable timeframe. Last time, they delayed a lot.

The provision about giving 45 days’ notice:
Professionalism dictates, surely, that the matter should be settled long-enough before my visa runs out that I can make my next plans. I requested the date by which we should settle the matter be made explicit, and set to July 30. That way, there was a firm date which we can both clearly see, and, I hoped, they wouldn’t endlessly delay like last time.
Hey, what about saving face?
What about 3rd person intervention?
Reminds me of shared leadership — boss on top shares with the others what will and has happened.
