Navigating Notice Periods: Do I Need to Serve Beyond 90 Days and Get Paid for Summer?

Hello, I am currently working in a private school and I want to move to a different school.

Notice Period Clause

My notice period-related paragraph in the offer letter says, "Your notice period, in case you choose to leave the school, stands at 3 months or equivalent salary. This is applicable in either way, and therefore, the school would also need to give you 3 months' notice or salary."

I resigned in April, and based on days, my 90 days' notice period is set to complete at the beginning of July. However, there is a one-month summer vacation in June.

Questions Regarding Notice Period and Salary

So, my employer is asking me to serve until July, which would be a total of four months. Now, I have the following questions:

1. Is it okay to serve my employer until July, which is more than 90 days?
2. Will I receive a salary for the month of June? (Normally, summer vacation is paid)
3. If I serve the entire notice period, will I receive a salary for the full notice serving period?

Understanding Paid Leave During Notice Period

If you are in ordinary service and receive paid leave during the summer vacation, you will not be required to serve, as paid leaves are part of the contract. You will receive these leaves while in the notice period. However, it is crucial to read your contract carefully to see if there is any clause excluding this provision. If there is no such clause, you will need to serve until July.
