Subject - HR policy to release a candidate
Hello All,
I need expert advise on this please. I 'm quiting my organization ( a reputed one) , and in my offer letter i was asked to serve 1 month notice period.Now, the scenario is :
The organization had made this official on May 2nd , 2010 that all its emplyoees need to server 3 months of notice. I joined the organization on 6th May ,2010.
It was clearly mentioned in the official letter that -
"The revised terms of notice period have already been implemented for new hires."
I was give Hard and soft copy of the offer at the time of joining mentioning that i have to server 1 month notice period.Neither was i updated personally nor i was sent any intimation after wards that the policy has changed.
There has been candidates who joined after during that period intimated personally on their Email about this change . This has not been my case.
I have made some personal commitments based on this , and i told the HR clearly that i will not be able to server notice period more than 1 month ,strictly based on my offer letter ( all official).
The Head HR accepetd that what i was technically saying was right but he needs 2-3 days time to decide.I strongly doubt they will let me go, they would plot something and bound me to stay for 3 months .
I want to be released in month , but the HR is taking time to give a response.I do not mind that, but , in case if they decide to extend my notice period to 3 months is something I will not be accepeting .
I want to know legally how i can negotiate with the HR to release me in 1 Month.
Please suggest me some strong points .
thanks !!
