After my appointment as lecturer my employer amended termination clause unilaterally after six months of my appointment thereby increasing notice period from 3 months to 6 months. i objected to the said amendment but the then director told me that it is a mere formality and not to worry about it. after serving for about an year after the said amendment, I resigned from the service and thereby I was asked (verbally) to continue for three months but when the period of three months was about to expire I reminded the director upon which he told me that my resignation is missing from my personal file and asked me to write my resignation again so that the same be put in my file i did accordingly and they relieved me after 4-5 days.
But after 15 days they send me a notice demanding 6 months’ salary on the basis of my resignation letter that i wrote 4-5 days before leaving the job, considering it to be a new resignation.
Pls. let me know whether amendment of termination clause, unilaterally by the employer is legally enforceable or not.
and also
What about my earlier resignation letter is it a nullity?
