Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'give' (to present or deliver) + 'notice' (an official written or formal statement); a learner who knows both words can infer it means to formally inform someone about a change in employment status. This verb + noun composition is common cross-linguistically and the specific employment sense is recoverable from context, so it is readily understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Give notice comes from the image of handing someone a written notice, a short paper that announces a change, where give is the act of handing and notice is the message. So, it means 'to formally inform someone'.
