Resigned on Short Notice: How Can I Claim My Unsettled Salary and Dues?

I have resigned from the company I was working in for three years on short notice of six days. Since I have not served the complete notice period, they have put my salary of 22 days on hold. They have not made any full and final settlement.

Please let me know if I am eligible for the above dues. If yes, how should I proceed on this?

Dear Shikha, What is the standard notice period for your company? You should have served your full notice period or have discussed with your HR Manager regarding your inability to serve the notice period with valid reasons. Since you have been with the organization for more than six years, it is your moral responsibility to give the company breathing time to identify an eligible candidate to replace you and hand over your responsibilities properly.

Alternatively, you should pay in lieu of your notice period. Without this, the dues cannot be claimed. Please approach your organization, explain your concerns, and finish smoothly without any further delay.

Sidman, thank you for your guidance. The standard notice period was 2 months as per my appointment letter. However, the RM/HR were well informed about my inability to serve the notice period.

It would be better if you approach them once again and explain your position to them. Give them some time to understand you. Move smoothly, as a relationship with past employers should not worsen. I assure you that they will provide some shortcut and pay your dues without any delay.

Regards,
SIDMAN
