Resignation - Legal Action [Thread 182459]

Just refer your appointment order. If there is a clause mentioned about notice period required before leaving the organisation, in that case either you have to serve the notice period or settle the notice period by making payment of the unserved days. Notice period is concerned from the date of the letter you have sent. No verbal communication is useful in this matter.

So a happy ending.....
Now reflect a bit - why this happened?
I think its because of certain fears in our mind.
May be you thought that you may not get the new opportunity which you got
May be you thought that your old company will not be happy with you if you told them in advance that you are looking out for a better opportunity...
Finally you removed all fear from your mind and did what was right and you got the results.
Keep fighting fears within your mind and be happy.

You should have first taken leave approval thenafter have tendered resignation that has kept you on safer place.
