3 Months Notice Period - Notice Period Increase

Dear Seniors,
Can the company increase the notice period to 3 Months thought it has been mentioned as 1 Month in the Appointment Letter ?

Companies can change their HR policies. But they should make amendment to the appointment letters and get acceptance of the employees.

Most of the appointment letter would have a line mentioned sub to changes at the discretion of the management
so if the company has decided to move from one month to three months then they can do so
on human grounds the company can ask the HR to have employee session and convey the massages as to why such move is been implemented

Most of the employees switch over their company frequently. It has trouble to the employer. So that most of the employers like to extend the notice period to 3 months.

Dear Friends,
Is it fare that employer recover notice period on gross salary????
In my appointment letter there is no any explaination that notice peiod will be recover on gross salary..
Only it is defined that if employee wish to switch over before three months then employee has to pay three month's salary.
Now wats your opinions in this matter. If i am not paying gross salary then they will not releave me.
So what we can do in this case???? Please give your valuable advices.

Hi
The company can not unilaterally change the terms of employment.
The employee has to agree to it, specially where it is a critical item like change in notice period.
The offer letter / appointment letter is a contract based on which the employee has joined the company. So naturally it can not be changed by the employer at his whims and fancy.

In general, Notice period recovery is on basic unless specifically mentioned in appointment letter. But there is no statutory rule available to defend.

Dear friends,
What happens if the employee is just terminated without giving any thing in written and does not want to pay you anything,who can help us the police the law or the labour inspector.

Dear All,
If company is having staff strength of 50 then it is legal to make 3 month notice period?

AFAIK, there is no legal provision avl for notice period. But as per ID act, if you are retrenching a workman, one month Notice period shall be served or pay them 1 month wages in lieu of N.P.
