3-Month Notice Period: How Do You Feel About the Strict Rules and Consequences?

In my present organization, Management has made it mandatory to serve a 3-month notice period. If an employee does not serve the 3-month notice period, HR will not issue a relieving letter and will not provide an experience letter as well. In addition to this, legal action will also be taken against dual employment and absconding.

What are your views on this?

Hi,

If an organization is mandating a notice period of 3 months, then you should follow the same. You can check with the company HR for a buyback option of notice, or you can go for a humble request to senior management by keeping HR in the loop. HR follows what they have set for every staff member (HR will also follow the same rule at the time of resignation). Without getting relieved from one organization and joining another one would be considered as dual employment, and this is illegal.

Can any organization withhold salary until settlement after giving resignation?

Presently, I am serving the notice period.
