Dear All,
I've been working with Pvt company for almost 6years and recently resigned from that position as I got better offer outside. I gave a 1month notice period(because thats the time period I'm expected to join in the new company). But my current employer is enforcing a 3months notice period on me. I agree that my appointment order says that I've to serve a 3months notice period but it also says "In case Employee requests for release without serving complete notice period he/she is liable to pay liquidated damages towards shortfall in the notice period which is calculated based on last drawn /maintained basic pay component of home location salary of employee. Management reserves right to decide on such cases for early release."
I had a discussion up to 3rd level manager but all are saying the same thing, as per company policy you've to serve 3 months notice period.Some are very rude as well. I haven't discussed this with my prospective employer yet as I'm afraid if they say we can't wait for 3 months.
I'm not quite sure what are my options here or what to do from here. I simply don't wan't to loose the job offer.
Kindly help me in this case.
Thanks,
Jagadish
