Hello seniors,
Please spare some minutes in guiding me, it can be critically important for my career.
I am working with an MNC for last 7 months. Now I have received a very good opportunity and want to switch the company. I sent the resignation by mail. However, the company HR says that I have to stay there for the notice period of 3 months. I have tried a lot but he is not getting convinced.
I am ready to pay the salary in lieu of notice period. I have also sent a mail saying this to the manager (To keep an official proof). However, they are saying that I will have to serve for 3 months and I cannot pay for the notice period.
In my offer letter it is stated word-to-word that [B']the contract can be terminated by either party by giving three month's written notice on either side or salary in lieu thereof.[/B]
My plan:
1. I will send the company another e-mail (apart from the earlier 2) stating that in line of the previous mails, I have resigned and my last date will be so and so.
2. In the same mail, I will ask for the amount of salary I will have to pay in lieu of serving the notice period.
3. If the company replies (less chances), I will pay that amount by DD (to keep proof) and send them.
If the company doesnt reply (high chances), I will calculate the amount to be paid by myself and will still send them the DD, with the mail that 'please calculate the exact amount and accept the DD.'
4. In the new company that I am joining, I will present the printout of all these documents as a proof that I have left the previous company.
I think I am not violating any rules here..
My queries are-
1. Should I make any changes in what I have planned?
2. Can the company harass me or take any legal action that can be a problem to me in the future?
Thank you
