Is It More Beneficial to Get Terminated or Resign from a BPO for Financial Reasons?

Need help! Is it true that a person gets three times his basic salary in a BPO if he gets terminated? So, is it better to get terminated or self-resign from a BPO from a monetary perspective and not a career perspective? Because then that person need not serve the notice period or pay the company for a relieving letter.

It varies from BPO to BPO; it's not the same with all the BPOs.

For those people who have this type of policy, beware of background verification in the next company, and this time, during a recession?! But normally, they don't pay for termination unless it is a layoff (but nowadays, layoff policies are also being adjusted in their own way).

Thank you, guys. I am currently working for a BPO in Goregaon and I no longer wish to continue in the BPO field. Even if I did, I would not show my next employer my experience from this BPO because I don't have a good rapport with my superiors. Additionally, I have only been working here for 4 months, so background checks don't bother me. I wish I could get a concrete answer. HELP REQUIRED.

Priya, I don't wish to continue with them anymore. How do I find out the policies of my company?

As per the employee contract, what they have mentioned, I think that two clauses are there. If any misbehavior happens, they have the right to terminate without notice.

Another thing, if they don't want to continue with the employee, they have to give one month's notice and show the proper reason to the employee.

FP,

If you are getting 3 times the basic on your termination and not going to get anything on resignation, then it is better to get terminated in this recessionary environment. Anyways, your intentions are clear not to be in BPO. Just do it. Cheers & do save for one month & ensure the policy is in its place first.

Dear Floating Penguin!

What does your question title mean? Does "sleep forever or die" mean the same, right?

Neither do you wish to continue with the company anymore, nor do you wish to reveal to your next (fortunate) employer about this work experience. Then, why do you think the current company must pay you?

Do you think HR professionals are here to help you with crooked solutions so that you can cheat your employer whatsoever?

Even if you say your employer was not good or cheated you, this need not be a reason why you are trying to be equally bad.

Stop sleeping, wake up. If such an attitude is continued, I am not sure how many companies you will be quitting in the future. And the answer to your actual question is here - check with your company policies, ask your HR where lies the maximum chance of getting more money - is it in getting terminated or resigning by self. Your company HR will definitely orient you once again.

Don't ever think that your future employer will never find out about your past experience. Such things don't remain under the cover for long. If you inform them that you moved out since you felt that BPO was not your cup of tea, they will definitely understand.

Else, if they find it by themselves - things will turn bitter for you.

Don't try to find which is the easiest route - always try to find which is the right route. Take care, no offense meant.

Dear,

First, please review your appointment letter to see what is written in the clause regarding termination. You have only worked for 4 months. Whether you resigned or were terminated, it seems you did not receive the 3 times basic pay. As far as I am aware, in a BPO job, the first six months are considered a probation period. During this probation period, both parties have the right to terminate the employment by providing a 24-hour notice.

Please let us know what is stated in your appointment letter.

Friends,

Money is honey. Let's invent some good tricks that may bring good to all the parties. It is not necessary that if you intend to get fired for the sake of three months' salary in lieu of notice will definitely yield the same fashion. Because if you are fired for the wrong reasons, the employer is not bound to pay three months' salary.

I respect your point of view, guys, but I'm quitting this job because my company has too much politics, and I want to make money. Where would I find my company's policies? How can I get to the depth of it? How do I frame my questions when I ask my HR? Please help.

Hi there,

As Jai stated, you could find the policy in the terms & conditions letter which comes along with the appointment letter, or you could request the policies from the management.

Is your question - "I somehow want to quit the job, I don't care about the relieving letter or any other formalities, but I somehow need the money. Is there a document (company policy) I can use to scare the Management by using the word accountability?" (Bet you, once you see the doc you will revert to ask - "now where should I search for it?"

Sir, do you know what the money is for - it's when a company will terminate you on grounds of non-performance or recession, and will pay you for the notice period you need to have otherwise provided.

In case of disciplinary actions, it's not necessary for them to pay you. They can just show the door to you.

If you are resigning yourself, it's not necessary for them to pay you. Please complete your notice period with them and leave the company.

If you don't want to continue with the notice period - please forget about the money.

If you are quitting because of politics, it's your headache... not theirs.

MONEY here is compensation for losing the job, not giving up the job.

Ensure there is a single line break between paragraphs. If there are multiple line breaks, reduce them to one.

Floating Penguin,

Please understand, as long as you are dealing with human issues and surrounded by people, all of us are bound to face politics in one way or another in our career journey. A smart and prudent person will know and eventually come around to deal with it.

As far as money is concerned, if you are serious about it, serve them the notice and leave the company gracefully. If you suddenly desert your service, then forget about the money and the company. Think of your career!!! Is this the right way to deal with confrontations? Mind you, the world is small. People are heavily networked. Even if you do not mention this company to your future employer, they will have all possibilities to come to know sooner than expected.

It appears you are at the sunrise of your career. Think, be patient, and wait for the right opportunity to deal. It may be easy to advise you to quit, but hold on. For every problem, there is a solution disguised in the form of a problem.

Your company's appointment letter has the following clause: do I get terminated or should I resign?

Your appointment will be a probationary period of six months from your date of joining the company, which may be extended if found necessary. Please note that you will remain on probation unless specifically advised of your confirmation in writing at any time.

During the probationary period or upon confirmation of your services, your appointment shall continue unless terminated by either party giving not less than one month's notice in writing at any time.

If you choose to leave the company, you must provide not less than one month's notice in writing, and the Company may, at its discretion, relieve you of your duties at any time during the notice period. In such a case, you will be paid your salary up to your last working day.

If, due to reasons beyond the employee's control, the employee is required to give notice less than the notice period, the Company may, at its discretion, relieve the employee of duties before the completion of the mandatory notice period with or without payment of salary in lieu of the notice period or any shortfall therein.
