Query posted in your other post is:

Can I resign during my probation period legally without giving 1 or 2 month notice? I intend to give 15 days notice however.I have completed 5 months.

You may study the clause No. 6(b),notice period applicable to respective grade level and service agreement.

Hi Kumar,


Thanks for your reply. But as long as I remember, This is all I signed. There is nothing more to this. I assume this is not clear. This is the service agreement/


Termination is the 6th Clause.

So, does this make clear to anyone how much notice can I give during probation period.??

If clause 6(b) is termination clause posted by you, then notice period is not mentioned, however what are the details mentioned in service agreement and notice period pertaining to your respective grade level?

During probation period reasonable notice period is 15 days.

It shall be appropriate to study the service agreement, employee rules and standing orders. The employee rules and standing orders should be circulated by the company. If you wish you can obtain and notice period pertaining to your respective grade level, service agreement, employee rules and standing orders from HR page of intranet of company or from concerned personnel of HR, by a written communication under acknowledgment.

The company can raise claim since you have signed the bond, and may issue notice/legal notice.

You can contest the claim under the expert advice of a competent and experienced lawyer/law firm, and your lawyer can liberate you.

There are strange conditions set out in the agreement e.g. (iv) a, highlighted by you in yellow colour.

Henceforth kindly consult elders in the family, competent and experienced well wishers, lawyer/law firm before signing on the dotted line and making acquaintances sign as surety.

It is better to seek legal advice before hand than repenting later and facing litigation.

Dear Mr. Kumar,


Thanks a lot for your kind suggestions.

DEAr all,

Do you see any loopholes I can use as I am still on probation period. The other company I may join is MNC and will give me better pay compare to current company. Where the current one is local company with only 1 branch. They have been promising to open branches all over India since 2 years but nothing is happening plus the work culture is not very professional.

i.e. We have video camera and microphone all over the place so management can hear what we are doing. It feels so strange that someone is looking over your shoulder all the time.

regards

Raj
