Navigating Probation: Will Resigning or Termination Affect My Final Pay?

Your appointment will be a probation for a period of six months from your date of joining the company, which may be extended in the case it is found necessary. Please note that you will continue to be on probation unless you are specifically advised about your confirmation in writing at any time.

During the period of Probation or on confirmation of your services there of, your appointment shall continue unless and until terminated by either party giving not less than one month's notice in writing anytime.

In case you decide to leave the services of the Company, you will be required to give not less than one month's notice in writing & the Company at its sole discretion may relieve you of your duties anytime during the notice period, and in that event you will be paid salary up to the last working day.

In cases where, 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 sole discretion relieve the employee of his duties before the completion of the mandatory notice period with or without payment of salary in lieu of such notice period or shortfall therein.

3 times more if you get terminated! I do not take that. What I can read between the lines is, such companies try to find out who got 'terminated' and then can choose not to 'take him/her on board'. Hope you understand. Because 'termination' itself is a stigma on anybody's career and any proper company will not take someone easily with that stigma. Hence, it is always better to 'resign' and leave on your own.

Good luck.

Dear [User],

You have not disclosed your name, so I could not address you by name. Do not learn bad habits at the start of your career. First of all, your appointment letter does not mention anything about 3 times as you stated. There is a provision for one month's notice pay at the time of termination.

I would like to know the method by which you will be terminated. If you are performing your duties properly, why would the company terminate you? In such a case, there must be some irregularity or disturbance created, leading to disciplinary action against you. If the company takes disciplinary action and then terminates you, why pay you in lieu of notice when your services are terminated on disciplinary grounds.

Stay positive and avoid entertaining such negative thoughts.

Thank you,

Dear floatingpenguin,

What is the reason behind termination or resignation? The termination clause mentioned by you does not talk about the monetary compensation by the employer in the event of it terminating you. I'll be in a position to answer you better only after knowing the situation you are in.

Hmm, thanks, people. From the above responses I got, I conclude I would rather resign and not get terminated. Thanks a lot for your help. This forum rocks! I got the advice from the best of the best. Cheers! Keep up the good work.

This is a bogus thought and has no benefits either immediately or in the long term because the company is only liable for one month's notice pay if they terminate after confirmation. You cannot expect three months' notice pay once it's expressed in writing that the company will pay only one month's notice pay, that's all.
