Dear experts,
The company I am working for has a notice period of 3 months. In my resignation letter, I have requested for it to be reduced to 60 days and have agreed to pay the balance salary. According to the appointment letter, the Company has the sole discretion for relieving me before / at the end of the notice period. So they have rejected my request. But the problem is that the company is not giving a formal confirmation that they will relieve me even at the end of 3 months i.e. the notice period can extend beyond 3 months. So I asked them for a precise relieving date in writing. They are replying verbally by providing a tentative date but refuse to commit anything in writing.
These are my queries:
1. Is it necessary for the company to give me the relieving date formally or is it implicit due to the appointment letter ?
2. If the company doesn't relieve me at the end of 3 months, what kind of legal action can I take ?
3. Since the company isn't giving anything in writing, can I trust them ? If I decide not to trust them and discontinue my services 1 month before the notice period without their acceptance, what kind of legal action can they take against me?
Thanks
