The way I see it, they forgot about punctuation.  Try it this way:

"2.1.1 For the first 6 months of continuous employment, the period of 
notice to be given in writing by either you or the Company to terminate 
your employment is one week's notice; thereafter, either party must give 
at least four weeks' notice if you have been continuously employed for 
up to for years and, thereafter, one additional week's notice for each 
completed year of continuous service, up to a maximum of 12 weeks' 
notice after 12 years' service has been completed."

However, the first part should be "the period of notice to be given...is 
one week;" since "one week" is a period of time; "one week's notice" is 
not, and redundant.  The rest of the instances of "notice" are fine.
