Can I Leave My Job in 15 Days Without Signing the Confirmation Letter?

jinesh10
I am quitting my job. My probation period just ended, during which I could have quit with a 15-day notice.

But now they are asking me to serve a 2-month notice period because I quit after 6 months have passed, and they are claiming I am a permanent employee.

I haven't yet signed the confirmation letter they provided. The HR is requesting me to sign it despite my resignation.

Is it possible for me to leave in 15 days? Are they concerned that I might depart before completing the 2-month notice period?

Hi, If your services are yet to be confirmed technically, you need to follow a 15-day notice period. However, wherever possible, try to negotiate with your HR and aim for an amicable relieving process. If you strain the relationship and leave abruptly, your employer may handle your departure differently, which could negatively impact your career. Therefore, handle the issue carefully.

The confirmation of your services is not affected by your signing or non-signing of the confirmation letter. It has been issued, and you are aware of it; thus, you are bound by it. Your signing of the letter only confirms the receipt of it.

Hi, In most cases, your employment terms and notice period should be outlined in your employment contract or offer letter. It's important to review these documents to understand your specific situation.

If you haven't signed the confirmation letter, you may not yet be considered a permanent employee, but again, this depends on the specific terms laid out in your contract.

If your contract or company policies state that you have a 2-month notice period, then you might be bound by this. However, there might be exceptions depending on your jurisdiction or if there are extenuating circumstances.

If you're uncertain about the legal aspects or your rights in this situation, it's advisable to consult with a labor lawyer or an employment expert who can provide you with advice tailored to your specific situation and local labor laws. They will be able to offer you the most accurate and relevant information.
