Clarification on "Either Party"

"Either party" means...?

"Either the party" means the "employee or the employer." Its complete meaning is, "during the probation period either the employee or the employer may terminate the services with immediate effect without assigning reasons. Post probation, i.e., after confirmation of tenure, either the employee or the employer will have to terminate services with a notice period of 30 days."

Hope your query is clear.

Leaving a Job During the Probation Period

It appears that you are inquiring about the possibility of resigning from your job during the probation period without having to give prior notice. If this is the case, it's essential to review your employment contract and company policies regarding probationary periods and resignation requirements to understand the specific guidelines in place.

In many cases, employees may have the option to leave their job during the probation period without serving notice, but this can vary depending on the employer's policies and the terms outlined in the employment agreement. It's advisable to seek clarification from your HR department or a legal professional to ensure you are aware of your rights and obligations in this situation.

If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Yes, this clause states this information. If you are considering a job change during the probation period and this clause applies to you, then you can proceed without a notice period.

Best of luck.

If the terms of employment, as regards the termination clause, specify that either party may terminate the employment with immediate effect without assigning any reasons during the probation period by giving a 24-hour notice in writing, then during the probation period, both the employer or the employee may terminate service with immediate effect by serving a simple notice in accordance with the terms of employment. So, either party means the employer or the employee.

I hope this is clear to you.

During the probation period: "either party may terminate the services with immediate effect without assigning reasons."

Post-probation, i.e., after confirmation of tenure: "Either party will have to terminate services with a notice period of 30 days."

So far as the underlying meanings are concerned, I think you should be clear now. However, though legally the interpretation is correct, office etiquette calls for proper prior intimation of your intentions to be given to the concerned through the proper channel. This will help you in case you would be required to obtain the service/experience certificate, relieving letter, and full and final settlements. Probably this requirement is not mentioned anywhere, I think. Do it sensibly. All the best.
