Can an employer waive off the notice period and relieve the employee and avoid notice pay . The background is
a) Resignation was tendendered by my friend on that ground that he is not happy with the profile given to him.
b) After a relavent mail correspondnence with the management requesting to place him rightly , as there is no response from the office he tendered the resignation.
c) Resignation was tendered by mail , which simply says that to initiate the relieving formalities treating his mail as official communication.
d) As per the recent promotion and increment letter says that employee should plan their resignation if required towards the end of the academic year ,( being the insitituion is educational ) and middle of the year resignations wont be accepted. It also says that three months working notice is required to be served.
e) Employee resigned thinking that he needs to serve the notice for three months in the month of Dec.2017.
f) After taking a long gap of one month , in Jan employer says that he will be relieved immediatley and they will waive the notice as a special case , but will not pay notice salary.
With this decision employee needs to get relieved immediately and he did not plan for his next venture as resignation was not accepted all these days.
What is the employee right in this case either under LAbour act or under shops and establishment act.
Can any one respond immeidatley.
