Termination of employement

The following term is sufficient to give 2 months notice to leave the company.

"You may also terminate this agreement  by giving two month's notice in writing or by paying two month's basic salary in lieu of notice."

Just send a resignation letter with 2 months notice or 2 months salary.  It is sufficient. There is nothing too techinical or problematic for you.  You are fully entitled to resign with 2 months notice or 2 months salary.

Hi Friendy,

Your problem is not much related to Legal than that of HR.  You have not mentioned because of what reason your employer is not relieving you or HR for the hack of it is trying to play armtwisting exercise with you.  Go and sit across with HR and try to put across your view point that due to ------------- reasons you won't be any sort of value addition to the organization and as you have once decided to resign then at the most HR can only spoil two precious months without much productivity from you.    It's a matter of wit, will power and time - do your home work and decide what suits you best.

Best Regards

Please relook into your appointment letter. Besides what has been quoted above there could be another clause stating that acceptance of salary in lieu of the notice period would be at the discretion of the management. Even in this case they can atmost ask you to serve the notice period and nothing else. If such a clause is not there then you can simply pay the amount in lieu of notice period, get it acknowledged and walk away.

Thanks you all for your replies.

Actually, I got an offer from a public sector company and was asked to join within 15 days. I resigned a week before this joining date and requested the HR, Manager, Delivery manager to release me by taking 2 months basic salary. But, they didn't agree to that. They said I should complete the Knowledge tranfer to a new person who they'll hire. But that doesn't seem to work as I've just three days left.

As a final step, I've fixed an appointment with the HR Director today to explain my problem. Kindly advice me how do I convince him if he takes the same stand of my manger? Shall I inform him that I'll proceed legally ? How do I proceed plz. advice.

Shall I send him an email about terimation of contrat from my side? or send letter by post. Also, as per the policies of the company, I can't leave without prior approval for three days continously.

Just to correct the last line in my earlier post. "Also, as per the policies of the company, I can't take leave without prior approval for three days continously."

Please advice how do I walk out of the employment?

Should I send termination of contract from my side through e-mail or do I need to do it through post?

Hi,

I want to know regarding claim from employees. If a company is going to be close and the company is giving one month notice alongwith termination letter to the employees. In this case as an Accounts Manager what should I do? Regarding Wages payment.

Dear Mr. Rajeev,

Your query is not clear.
