Stuck in a Notice Period Dilemma: How Can I Leave My Job in 15 Days Without Losing a New Opportunity?

I am working with Thomas Cook in the SSC Department for Client DEI as a GL Accountant. I have served one and a half years in this role with all my dedication towards work. I helped my SSC team at a time when there was no one to join this company, and whoever joined was leaving because of DEI's employees' worst behavior. I have a good opportunity now, and I have resigned from here. My notice period is 45 days, but my employer wants to buy out 30 days, and I want to serve only 15 days of the notice period. In my contract, it is clearly written that the buyout option is at the sole discretion of the employer or the business, which is DEI. DEI is not allowing me to be relieved in 15 days. I have tried all possible ways to convince them. If I don't join in 15 days, then I will lose this good opportunity.

Can anyone please help me on how I can get relieved within 15 days? Isn't there any labor law on this? I have searched for everything, but it has been of no use, and now I am helpless. Our labor law is so weak that an employee cannot make any decision in his/her favor. Please help.

Hi, Adjusting leave in lieu of the notice period is purely at the discretion of the employer, as clearly mentioned in the appointment letter. Although Thomas Cook is willing to accept, Client DEI is not accepting, and you are unable to be relieved with a 15-day notice. Most of the time, it depends on the business requirement, the volume of work at hand, your role, and responsibilities, etc. It is better to try to negotiate with Client DEI. Give assurance that you will be able to complete the pending work within 15 days. Ultimately, they will not be concerned about your offer but will care only about their business, which is practical.
