Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 23 July 2020 This query is : Resolved
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?

Quick Summary

An employee is facing a dilemma as their current employer is insisting they serve the full remaining 1.5-month notice period, despite having no active projects and being idle. The employee wishes to join a new company sooner and has offered to pay in lieu of the remaining notice, but the HR department has refused. The advice suggests that unless the contract allows for payment in lieu, the employee may be legally bound to serve the full period as per their appointment terms.

Terms and conditions of your appointment with present employer shall apply, wherein your employer may deduct amount of notice (3 months or remaining period) from your entitlements/ outstanding with them.

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.
