How Can I Communicate a Notice Period Change from 1 to 2 Months to Employees?

Hi everyone, I am an HR professional, and I want to change the notice period from 1 month to 2 months for existing and new employees. How can I share this information? Please suggest.

Hi, for new employees, you may mention the separation clause in the appointment order. However, for existing employees, since one month is already committed, you cannot change it to two months unilaterally. You may obtain their consent and then make it official through written communication.

Notice period, being one of the conditions of service, can only be changed by giving 21 days' notice. In respect of new employees, you can set it as you desire.

Please note that in the absence of any notice period in your certified Standing Orders, you cannot insist on any notice period on the part of workers, although employers are obligated to give notice under 25F or 25N in order to terminate the employment.
