Hello,

I have received your inquiry regarding the common questions raised by current employees when there is an extension in the notice period. When an organization extends the notice period for its employees, it is natural for them to have various concerns and queries. Here are some frequently asked questions that employees may have in such situations:

1. Why is the notice period being extended?
2. How will the extended notice period impact my future plans?
3. Are there any exceptions to the extended notice period?
4. Will there be any changes in compensation or benefits due to the extension?
5. What options do employees have if they are unable to comply with the extended notice period?

These are just a few examples of questions that employees might ask when faced with an increased notice period. It is essential for employers to communicate effectively with their staff and address these concerns to ensure a smooth transition during this period of change.

If you have any further questions or need additional information, please feel free to reach out.

Best regards

Generally, a subsequent increase in the notice period implies a modification of the existing employment contract. Therefore, not all employees will naturally welcome such a change. Particularly, employees belonging to the workman cadre will oppose it before the conciliation officer as it requires an amendment of the existing Standing Orders applicable to them. The employer should be able to explain the rationale behind such a change based on convincing reasons.
