Clarification Regarding Resignation & Notice Period

Dear Seniors,

As per my appointment letter, my notice period is 1 month, and after my promotion, my notice period is increased to 3 months. Now, my company has started asking people to resign. If these people ask me to resign, can I give a notice period of 3 months? Should my company accept my notice period? Or can my company still ask me to resign and look for another job? Does my company have to pay me any compensation if they accept my notice period? If they don't accept my notice period, what should I do?

Thanks,
Sanjay

Your inquiry is missing some major information such as your joining date, duration, etc.

Why do you have to resign when the company asks you? If the company doesn't want you, let them terminate you. Then you will get all the benefits you deserve, don't worry.

Dear Sanjay,

As rightly said by Sathyandh, if you are told to resign, you don't have to worry. Just don't submit your resignation; let them terminate or negotiate with you. Only then will you be entitled to the benefits of the notice period.

If the appointment letter or your promotion letter contains a clause regarding a 3-month notice period from either side, it will be applicable to you and the management as well. If you wish to leave the company, you are required to provide a 3-month notice or pay 3 months' salary. Similarly, if the management intends for you to leave or terminate your employment, they must give you a 3-month notice period or pay 3 months' salary in lieu of the notice period.

It is clear that the unscrupulous management is trying to reduce manpower by hook or crook.

As advised by a few friends, you can ask them to terminate you with 3 months' notice pay as per the terms and conditions, which amounts to a confrontation in the eyes of the management. Alternatively, you can follow the age-old policy to "politely" negotiate for one or two months' notice pay for submitting resignation.
