Resigned but Company Delays My Release Date: Am I Calculating It Right?

I have resigned from my current company, giving a three-month notice period, but they are delaying my release date. I resigned on 08-Aug-2012, so as per my calculation, I should be relieved on 05-Nov-2012, but they are saying 08-Nov-2012. I want to know whether I am correct in my calculation.

It's quite unadorned and simple. Most companies work on a 30-day calendar count. If the date that you resigned is on the 8th of August, then your date of relieving should be the 8th of November. Do not get baffled.

P.S: For a clear clarification, always consult your Human Resources department.

As per the company's standing orders, the notice period should be one month or 30 days. Generally, most companies follow a monthly basis. You can be relieved on the 7th of November; three months will be completed on 7/11.

Your three months' notice period will be completed on 07.11.2012. This is a well-established industry practice, so do not have any more confusion.

Well, my question to you is: Does this difference of three days really matter to you? Do you have any problem staying for three more days? I mean, if you are not going to join a new employer on the same days and they feel that they need you for three more days for any reason, I don't think there should be any problem in staying for just three more days.

Hope you have spent a good time here and nothing was wrong behind your resignation. So, I would say there must be no problem in staying for three more days (Tuesday to Thursday).

Some companies mention the notice period in days, while some mention it in months. In your case, the notice period will be in months.

Dear Ganbag, in addition to the above, I would also like to inform you that your notice period will be completed on 7th Nov 2012, and you should be relieved on 8th Nov. You've stayed for 3 months, and another 3 days should really not matter. Moreover, I'm at a loss to understand how you calculated the 5th Nov... Never mind.

If you do not have any due dates for your new employment, please do not bother for another 3 days. If you want to be relieved immediately, request it from your HR and your HOD, and I suppose they would not mind releasing you earlier and would not bother about another 3 days.

This cannot be called a delay... :unsure:
