I am working in a MNC and I am in probation period.I got job in govt sector.I resigned my job on 11th Jan 2016 and my notice period ends on Feb 9 2016.I have been asked to join in the govt job on 22nd Jan.I informed the same to HR and my supervisor and asked them for earlier release by buying out the shortfall notice period (in my case its 18 days).I am ready to pay the amount , but they are refusing to accept that option.Please suggest what can I do here.As it a MNC I am fearing to abscond as they may take legal action against me.

I informed my supervisor and manager before resigning.I don't have any dependencies and that is why my supervisor approved immediately. My resignation is raised in the system and my supervisor approved it.I want to exit the organization smoothly.But HR is refusing that option.

Dear Suresh,
You can very well pay the remaining salary and end up your notice period, but only it must written in your agreement or appointment letter. read your agreement or appointment letter carefully before moving ahead. you can file a complaint in your local govt. labour dept for your safer side.

Hi Suresh146305
There are few things that can be done in the situation you are in. You have to first check your contract with the company that weather it allows you to buy the notice period or the company had kept this option as per their discretion. If the contract says that you can leave by paying for your notice period than the company cannot bound you to complete your notice period and you can report to this issue to your location’s labour office about this and ask them to talk to the company on your behalf.
And if the company have kept this option weather you can leave or not is up to them than ask for the standing order of the company to check that the same is stated in it too.
Then we will take the actions as per the situation

Approach the top management.
18 Days shortfall is no earthshaking problem for an MNC.
Offer to pay shortfall and ask top management to be considerate and give you smooth exit.
What does your standing orders say about exit?
How long did you serve with the MNC?
Legal threat by company may not amount to much.
No court will take such a grim view if there is shortage of only 18 days and you have expressed your willing ness to pay shortfall to the company.

You may submit your resignation by registered post together with the DD for the amount against the Notice period to be bought out. And join the Government job on the appointed day. There is no requirement in Government for the production of the relieving letter from the previous employer.

Hello Suresh,
Going by the terms of employment you mentioned, it's clear that you don't have a Buyout option.
Did you inform 'in-writing' that you are joining the Govt sector & NOT another Company?
Despite all the various advantages in MNCs, the one disadvantage is about the Rules being more like in a Govt--rigid & without flexibility when left to the bottom-rung guys.
Like Nathrao suggested, the only option for you is to escalate to the Top--WITH a copy of the Govt Offer letter.
DON'T......repeat DON'T......harp on your side of the story about getting relieved earlier. Focus & sell the fact that the Company won't be effected in any way by your leaving now or later.....since you WON'T be joining another Company.
Focus on the usual human tendency/frailty about acting only when things effect oneself. Since your manager has given you the Clearance, you have a lesser headache.
The Worst-case-Scenario action would be what Venu suggested [he is right that Govt sector doesn't insist on earlier job Docs, UNLESS there's some criminality/legal issue involved].......joining even if you don't get the Docs here.
But I wouldn't suggest it as the direct step without trying your best to get the Docs.......for all you know, you may want to quit the Govt job later & join a Pvt sector Company. That's when your lack of connecting career Docs will effect your chances very badly.
MAYBE, you can use this fact in your discussions/mails to the Top guys [don't see any point to mention it to the junior HR guys....they wouldn't understand the sanctity you are attaching to getting out the proper way]......"that you CAN leave even without any Docs but DON'T WANT TO as you value your association with the Company".
It will only enhance your chances of getting relieved faster & properly.
All the Best.

I think you are in junior level. Go ahead if you have secured job in your hand. Send the cheque for the shortfall in NP and surrender all the assets, hand over the documents, if any.

In my considered view, the terms of employment needs to be read as an organic whole. When the employer has the option to buy out Notice period, it is unconscionable deny the same reciprocity to the employee. It is not open to the employers to indulge in exploitative private legislation under the pretext of terms of the contract of employment.
