Hi all,
I have been working with a multinational company for the last 5 years. As per my appointment letter my notice period is one month. last year i received an appraisal letter where i have been promoted to a senior level and the notice period has been changed to 2 months. Recently i was sent abroad for a project and prior to my travel,no discussions or official communications were made regarding any contract to be signed or any change in notice period.
Upon my return, i have been verbally informed by a superior that my notice period has been changed to six months. I havent got any letter or official communication through mail regarding this and the communication is just verbal, i havent agreed to the change either.Though i am not planning to leave immediately i feel cheated and arm twisted into accepting something i dont want to.
My query is , is it possible for a company to unilaterally decide a change in notice period, without a consultation and with the employee and without any verbal or signed consent from the employee. If I am served with an amendment letter, what should i do? and if i refuse to accept the amended notice period,is it still valid and when i resign am i liable to serve the six months notice period?
Please help
