Notice Peirod - 30 Days To 60-90 Days For All Employees

Dear Raj,

I do not think the procedure is the crucial part. The issue is a change in mutually agreed basic conditions of service, which may result in a loss of trust between the employer and the employees. This change was implemented in an organization I know of, and it resulted in a lot of resentment among employees. The organization could not achieve its aim of improving the retention levels; instead, it led to more exits and higher attrition.

Hi Raj,

Why don't you define the NOTICE PERIOD POLICY based on EMPLOYEE CATEGORY/GRADE? Please do consider employee hierarchy before implementing your policy as it may ease your job.

I strongly suggest not to force any employee beyond their limits by implementing policies that are not advisable. Since you are also an employee, analyze the impact of this policy on yourself if implemented.

Dear Raj,

To draft a change in the notice period letter, please seek approval from your Director or General Manager. When issuing the revised notice period, ensure to obtain acknowledgment from all employees.

Hi all,

Currently, as per our policy, the notice period stands at 30 days. I propose to extend it to 60 to 90 days for all employees. Could you please guide me on the necessary procedures to implement this change?

Thank you,
Raj

Dear,

Please consider the version presented by Mr. Khadir. Think and act accordingly because you are also involved in this.

Dear Mr. Surendra,

That is the reason we have a clause in the offer of employment agreement. In the event of any changes to the agreement, the company reserves the right to amend the agreement without prior notice. This amendment will be communicated to the employees, and their acknowledgment will be kept in their personal file.

Those who are not willing to accept the change will be given the option to leave the company.

With warm regards,

This clause by itself is ultra vires as it infringes on the rights of the workers/employees. If the management does something that is in contravention of any other clause in the appointment letter, this clause will have no force and is ultra vires ab initio. How can you alter a contract at will unilaterally? If management perceives such a right under the employment contract, employees have the same right. Then, each and every employee will start dictating their own terms of employment at any time, at will.

Hello all,

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

I just want to know why you want to change the notice period. Thirty days is normal and is followed by most companies.

Thanks,

Dear Mr. Surendra,

What remedial action is required to enhance the notice period from 30 days to 90 days? In my company, after 3 years of service, we are obligated to give a 90-day notice; otherwise, our PL will be deducted for that period. Please advise on what steps to take in this case.

With warm regards,
