Which date to consider for calculating the notice period - Date of Presentation of Resignation or the Date of Acceptance of Letter?

Which date to consider for calculating the notice period whether Date of Presentation of Resignation or the Date of Acceptance of Letter by the concerned Departmental HOD / Authority. Please comment

Hi

The ideal date would be effective date of resignation. HOD may prolong the process, will try to convince the resigned employee and at one point of time will accept the resignation might be after 10-15 fays. In this case only resignation letter should be the notice period commencement date and HOD should not consider his acceptance date as effective date.

Date of Presentation of Resignation. since , typically as per the employment contract that is that day you are choosing to terminate it and invoking the termination clause.

Dear friend,
As you are aware, ' resignation ' refers to the act of unilateral termination of the contract of employment by the employee concerned. In such a case, notice period , if any, already mentioned in the contract of employment would imply the period between the submission of the letter of resignation and the effective date of resignation specified by the employee.
" Acceptance of resignation" by the employer is only a stage in the process of resignation depending exclusively on the terms of the exit clause in the contract of employment. It can be exercised by the employer at any time between the date of submission of resignation letter and the effective date mentioned therein. If the employer simply sits over the resignation letter, the employee has the right to walk out on the expiry of the notice period.
