Is My Company’s Notice Period Really 45 Days Without Weekends? Seeking Clarity

Hello seniors, I want to know if the notice period in my company has changed since my joining. There is no notice period mentioned in the appointment letter. So, do I need to serve a notice period?

Notice Period Duration

One more point: It's 45 days excluding weekends and holidays. Is this possible?

Thanks for the help.

If there's no notice period mentioned in your appointment letter, then you don't need to serve any notice period legally. However, in a professional manner, you need to finish your tasks, hand over all responsibilities and documents before getting relieved or resigning.

In case you serve a notice period, it does not include the weekly offs, holidays, and leave taken during that period. You are required to serve the desired number of working days.

Notice Period Clarification

The notice period includes intervening weekly offs and holidays but does not include leaves taken.

If nothing is mentioned in the appointment letter about notice pay, one can refer to the respective State Shops and Establishment Act, which provides for a notice period, generally one month.

Hope this will help.
