Dear All,
with 1 week's notice through email. But now he is very pissed off and asked me to pay 3 months salary as mentioned in the offer letter.
I thought of ending up the contract by adjusting one month's basic salary from my unpaid salary, but now i feel that i would have acted smart if i would have got the cheque and left the company without any reasons. We had a long discussion about it, my boss shouted, yelled, humiliated me, but i was very confident of my decision. It was a tough time for me to explain the reasons of leaving without serving the full notice period. Later on he agreed for me to serve notice period of one month and leave the organization or else he will sue me big time.
Now i am confused that what if i continue the services, will i get my previous month salary and salary for the notice period served. But i am sure the way he was negotiating with me i believe that he needs me at least for a month cos the work might get affected if i leave too early and they won't be able to find any replacement so early also.
As asked by my boss to serve 1 month's notice, I have decided I would continue the services and will extend my notice period for one month only if they pay me previous month's salary and confirmation of getting full and final settlement after serving 1 month's notice period.
These were the clauses mentioned in my offer letter and appointment letter :
OFFER LETTER
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by either Party by providing sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other Party, or by payment of basic salary in lieu of notice in case of termination of employment by the Company.
APPOINTMENT LETTER
Should you wish to terminate your services with the company, you will be at liberty to resign from our employment with three month's prior notice. It will be the company's discretion to decide whether you should work for full period of the notice or whether your services shall terminate at some earlier date.
Now i have few questions which i need to clarify from all you experienced people to help me take the decision as soon as possible ;
1) Is it still a wise advice to continue and serve notice period and be assure there won't be any problem.
2) Is there any way i can get my unpaid salary of whole 1 month.
3) Can my boss actually sue me because i did not serve 3 months notice period.
4) How can i get my full and final settlement by adjusting the basic salary as mentioned in the clause.
5) What is the format for extending notice period and confirmation for getting full and final settlement after serving 1 month's notice period as asked for.
6) HR person has given me the copy of Appointment letter but has still not provided me the copy of offer letter as he told me its the same as provided in the email. So, is it necessary to ask for the copy in case they sue me for anything later.
7) Can they hold me responsible for any of the subsequent project failures – and file a suit against me to that effect?
Overall the main thing was to have good relations with my boss and end up the contract professionally and also not to be counted as ABSCONDING case. But now he wants me to serve one month notice period or else i should be ready to run to courts for hearings..What Should I do???
