Dear Jeeni,

A resource in the probation period would work in a company for a specific period and in that period if they want to move out they can by submitting a resignation letter at least prior to one week. It is not mandatory by the law by it is the basic courtesy. A good resource would not leave the company in lurch.

At the same time, the employer has got every right to terminate the employment of a probationary employee at any time by giving an explanation and may be with out any notice. A probationary employee would not be entrusted with much of company's confidential matters and they will not have any serious roles in the company. So in that juncture their disappearance on a fine morning will not create any problems as such.

And by that standing instruction in the labour laws all the employees whether it is a contract employee or a regular employee, have to serve a notice period to the employer before moving out. And in this case you should go through the probationary agreement you have for employees. Or please consult a Labour Lawyer.

Thanks
Afsal
