Frustrated with Delayed Confirmation: Can I Leave Before Notice Period Ends?

I am working for an organization that, as per policy, is supposed to provide confirmation after six months based on feedback. Although I received positive feedback from my supervisor, I am still waiting (after ten months) for my confirmation. Every time I discuss this, they find some issue to postpone it on some pretext. I have finally submitted my resignation letter with a date, but is it possible to leave the employment before the notice period since I am not a confirmed employee?

Kindly check your employment contract to see the notice period clause regarding relieving from services during probation. Your post seems to be incomplete.

Even if you are under probation, there is normally a notice period specified for the same. You need to check the terms and conditions and proceed accordingly because if you leave the company without serving a notice period, there is a good chance that you will not receive a relieving/experience letter, which will be required for future jobs. As you have worked for 10 months, it is always advisable that you get an experience relieving letter before leaving.

You mentioned that you have already resigned from the company, so what was their reaction? Are they trying to retain you? Did you tell them the reason for resigning?

Employment Confirmation and Probation Period

Ideally, the rule is: If your appointment letter states that you shall be under probation or shall be confirmed after X months, then, even if the company fails to give you a confirmation letter, it is presumed that you've confirmed the employment. If the probation or confirmation period needs to be extended, the same ought to be communicated to the person by issuing an extension of the probation period letter. Since you've not been issued an extension letter, presume that you've confirmed the duty. Accordingly, act.

I would suggest, since you've already completed 10 months in the employment, wait for a couple of months, complete 1 full year, and then switch so that it doesn't look bad on your CV when you go around for a new job.

All the best.

Yes, it's correct. If you have completed 240 days in service, it's deemed that you are confirmed. An employer cannot keep you working under the pretext of probation for years. I suggest you complete a year to see what happens in terms of increment, etc., and then make a decision.
