Hello Sir/Madam,
I am in need of urgent help regarding Serving notice period in my current company.Recently I have got an offer from other company but my current company Project manager is not allowing me to relieve within 30 days(NOTICE PERIOD AS PER MY AGREEMENT=2 MONTHS).I asked HR but he is told he cannot relieve me unless my project manager accepts my resignation.
I wanted to know whether i can go legally against them?
Below is Agreement stated in my offer letter :
4. (a) Employment with the Company will stand terminated at the end of the financial year in which you attain the age of superannuation (60 years). Termination of employment may also be initiated earlier by either party by serving prior written notice on the other, as per the notice period stipulated in this offer. The Company is also entitled to either waive the notice period in part or in full at its sole discretion or require payment of equivalent base
salary in lieu of the unserved notice period. The Company further reserves the right to terminate with sooner effect by tendering equivalent base salary in lieu of the notice period
(b) In the event of termination of services by either party, the applicable notice period will be Two months.
(c) In the event of your serving on the company a notice of termination of employment by submitting a resignation letter, your release will be governed by the General Terms and Conditions of Employment in force at that point in time, subject to the satisfactory handing over of your duties, responsibilities, Company documents, Company assets, etc. to the relevant parties. The details of this Policy are available on our HR website.
PLS HELP.
