Dear Experts,
I wanted a quick opinion on the situation where my employer contract during Probation says they can terminate my services in one month. But then if I resign during probation I need to give 2 months notice. Is this fair, can a employer have such clause? I am ready to serve one months notice, but they are forcing me to serve 2 months notice.
Please advice and thanks for your help.
Regards
Amit

'Quick opinion'-what is that?
Post employment contract for fair comment.

Both the parties to the contract are bound by its clauses. If the clause of 2 months has already been accepted by you in writing, you shall have to follow it otherwise fresh term to that effect cannot be enforced over you.
