We have an associate in our organization who is employed on the rolls of a very reputed third party for last two years. As his performance has been excellent, my organization has decided to take him as a permanent employee on the rolls of the organization.
When i consulted my senior manager, he advised me to ask the associate to submit a resignation letter to the third party. My manager also adviced me to vaive off his notice period (which is 15-30 days for contractual employees) and instead ask him not to report to work for 15 days after the date of resignation. We will issue an offer letter to him 15 days after his date of resignation. My manager said this is being done so that the associate cannot claim for "continuous association" with organization.
Kindly advice whether the stance taken in this case is ok. I personally feel that as he is an employee of the third party he cannot claim continous employment. The associates salary payments, travel expenses, and reimbursements of the last two years have been routed through the third party itself.
Kindly help.
