I am working in a company say X, and currently I am on notice period. It has a 3 months notice of which 1.5 months is remaining. I dont have any project in company X, i am sitting idle here from last 1.5 months.
I have asked the hr and the manager multiple times for early release or short notice period, but they are adamant on not releasing me early. Escalated the matter also, but no results.
On the other hand, the future employer Y, is looking for early joining. All formalities are done, just they are waiting for me to confirm them the joining date. They, preferably, want me to join in August 1st week.
I need early release for joining the Y company. I am ready to pay the money in Lieu Lieu the remaining days, but hr is saying it cannot be done.Can you pls advise me what can be done here?

If in accordance to your appointment / service conditions, you need to complete the required notice period.
You have no legal right against the terms of appointment / service conditions.
