Employee Left Without Full Notice: Can They Still Claim Their Remaining Salary?

If an employee left the job without serving the proper notice period, is there any rule or regulation that allows him to claim his remaining salary? He had a 2-month notice period in his appointment letter but only provided a 1-month notice and resigned properly via email.

If you have clearly mentioned the notice period in the employment contract, then the same document is valid for you.

Hi, absconding from employment without information is not right and cannot be justified at any cost.

Notice Period Obligations

When the notice period, as per the appointment order, is 2 months, you should either serve the two months or negotiate with the employer for a partial notice and make payment in lieu of the balance notice period. Emailing resignation or submitting resignation is not the criteria, but serving the proper notice period and handing over the responsibilities properly is very important.

If the employee is bound to serve a 2-month notice period but has not served it, then the employer has every right to recover salary in lieu of the notice period. In the above-cited case, it is noted that the employee has served one month's notice; therefore, the employer may either recover the balance notice period payment, or the concerned person may be advised to buy the remaining notice period by depositing the requisite amount to the company.

You cannot say no to wages and salary for the period of work.

What does it mean to "do a proper resignation"?

It is presumed that most things in your organization are not in order. Send an email to that person, stating that your wages pending with us shall be adjusted against the shortfall notice period.
