Hello Connections, I have a doubt related to the notice period calculation.

Resignation date: 10th June
Resignation acceptance date: 28th June
Notice period as per the company rules is 2 months

What will be his last working day if he serves 2 months notice .

1) From which date is notice period will be calculated? from resignation date or Resignation acceptance date?

2) How much time an employee should wait for the response on his resignation email? If he doesn't get response within a week , the resignation can be considered as accepted?

3) If his resignation is not accepted what are the exit formalities?

Hi,

Notice period starts from 10th June. Resignation acceptance is only a internal process and notice period to be counted from resignation letter date.

If resignation acceptance email not received please follow up with your HR.

With regard to point no.3, no employer can hold an employee forcibly and only thing the employer can do is to discuss with the resigned employee and can try to convince him to revoke the resignation letter.

Dear friend,

Whenever an employee submits his/her resignation thru an email / Written down hard copy , notice period starts from date of resignation. In your case it is 10th June. It is immaterial whether it is accepted or not because resignation acceptance is only a internal process.

It the the responsibility of HR/Management to issue the acceptance. If resignation acceptance email not received please take follow up with your HR.

Regarding the point no.3, No employer can hold an employee forcibly/ against the will and wish of an employee and only thing the employer can do is to discuss with the resigned employee and can try to convince him to revoke the resignation letter.
