I resigned from my job on 8th April 2011 and asked to be relieved by 30th April, 2011. According to my terms of employment I was supposed to give 15 days notice period. Therefore I had given sufficient notice.
However, my employer relieved me immediately on 9th April 2011 but did not pay me salary for the 15 days notice period. When I requested for the salary upto 23rd April 2011, he refused saying that it was not payable.
Can you please guide me whether I am entitled to salary upt expiry of my notice period even if the employer decides to relieve me earlier at his discretion?
Secondly I was entitled to 24 days leave in a year. At the time of leaving am I not eligible for leave pay on prorata basis?
