Resignation Without Notice Period - Company Notice Period

Hi All,

I need some help regarding the title above. My sister had left her company she served for only 6 months, where her probation period was not over yet, with immediate resignation. After serving her resignation, she worked for 2 days. Then she joined another organization.

Her appointment order mentions that she will be on probation for 6 months, and the resignation clause clarifies the 1-month notice prior to resignation, otherwise, 1 month's salary will be payable. Although it's not professional, due to some circumstances, she had to do that.

Now, can her previous company send her a legal notice? If they do send one, what could be the remedial measure to escape from it? Kindly advise.

Hi Poonam,

Your sister was on probation for 6 months, and she left the job during this period. Her services were not confirmed in writing. During probation, the employee and employer have the right to terminate services without notice from either side. No notice is required during probation. Probation implies that employees are on trial; therefore, job continuity is not guaranteed.

I believe the company will not waste time and energy chasing your sister if they are wise and a good organization because they neither confirmed her services nor acknowledged the continuation of her employment.

Regards,
Sawant

Dear Poonam,

In this case, your sister can leave without giving any notice on probation. They will never send any notice for this cause because it would be a waste of time. So, don't worry.

Thanks,
