Hi,
I Have Resigned From My Organisation That Has Notice Period Of 2 Months. I Would Not Be Able To Serve This Notice Period. I've Resigned On 18th Jul And Requested My Employer To Relieve Me On 28th July. The Agreement States As Below.
"Your Services Can Be Terminable By Giving Two Month's Written Notice Or Two Month's Basic Pay In Lieu Thereof On Either Side At The Sole Discretion Of The Company's Management"
I Was Deputed In Client Place Through My Employer And My Client Has Already Relieved Me From My Duties.
But, My Employer Is Not Willing To Relieve Me And Forcing Me To Serve The Notice Period.
Since It's Mentioned That "At The Sole Discretion Of The Company's Management", My Company Is Not Ready To Relieve Me.
1) Can Company Keep Hold Of Employee And Not Relieve Me Even When I Agreed To Pay 2 Month's Pay In Lieu Of That. In Addition, I Also Requested To Forfeit My 1 Month(July) Salary For Which I Worked.
2) Can Company Decide This At Their Sole Discretion Without Giving Any Option To Employee To Get Relieved?
I Have Resigned And Clearly Stated In Letter That I Am Ready To Pay The Compensation Of Two Month;S Basic Pay In Lieu Of Serving My Notice Period. Can Company Still Choose Not To Relieve Me And Not Provide Me Relieving Letter.? Would Company Be Able To Take Any Legal Action Against Me Even Though I Agreed To Pay Them?
