I was offered employment in an MNC company, and in the offer letter, nothing was mentioned about the notice period (till then it was 1 month's notice on either side). I accepted the offer and joined at one of its sites.
My appointment letter was not issued on the date of joining and was given to me later - after 25 days from the joining date. While issuing it, I was told not to mention the date while signing.
In the appointment letter regarding the notice period, it is written as follows: "In case of resignation from services during the probationary period, you shall serve one month's notice. After the completion of your probationary period, your services can be terminated by giving 3 months' notice or salary in lieu thereof. In case of resignation from the services, you shall serve the full notice period of 3 months. Leave or salary will not be adjusted against any shortfall in the notice period."
1) Is this legally acceptable? As I had no other option but to sign the appointment letter after joining the organization, or else I would have been jobless.
2) Is it possible to work for 1 month and adjust the balance of 2 months with Leave/salary?
HR experts, please give your suggestions/feedback.
