Hi, I am working for a small Pvt ltd. company in India as a customer support executive. before joining i received a offer letter, post 1 month of my joining i received my Appointment letter. on the first day of joining the HR called me into her cabin and showed me few company event videos on her computer monitor, explained that i am entitled for 12 annual leaves and 5 sick leaves and said that was the end of induction. during my sixth month i have resigned from my job as i dint like the work environment, they are imposing us to work on Saturdays and Sundays without pay, when we asked for pay they say it is a work from home so they wont pay.
MY RESIGNATION HAS BEEN ACCEPTED But in it they mentioned as per appointment letter i have to serve 3 months notice, in my resignation mail i have requested them to relieve me in a months time,however, the appointment letter states as following " IF YOU WISH TO TERMINATE YOUR EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO GIVE 3 MONTHS NOTICE TO THE COMPANY OR SUBJECT TO COMPANY'S DISCRETION, IN LIUE OF THE NOTICE PERIOD PAY COMPENSATION TO THE COMPANY EQUIVALENT TO YOUR 3 MONTHS SALARY ( not the basic but whole salary ) ". I do not wish to serve 3 months of notice period as i do not at all feel motivated to work, I AM READY AND WILLING TO BUYOUT MY NOTICE PERIOD, i have till date not received any mail or letter from the HR or management with regard to my employment confirmation, though in the appointment letter nothing is mentioned about probation period.
Now my questions are :
1) Can the company reject my buyout option ? If they are rejecting then y mention about buy out in the appointment letter ?
2) I need a relieving letter ? will the company not issue the same ?
3) My health is not keeping well and i am diagnosed with kidney stones today, i can submit the medical certificate for the same. Can i give them this reason and tell them i cannot serve the notice period and can buy out the notice period ? will they object to this ?
4) Can a company force an employee to work for the whole notice period without accepting the buy - out option?
Please suggest.
