Dear All,
If I say I was working in a company where the probation period is 6 months. If the employer is not happy with my performance (or any other issues), they can terminate me from employment without any notice period.
Similarly, if I am not happy with the company's culture, policies (or any other issues), do I, as an employee, have the same right to leave the company without any notice period? Kindly clarify if I am wrong.
Thanks & Regards,

A correction: it is not Prohibition Period, but Probation Period. During this period, both the employer and the employee have the same rights. If the employer has the right to terminate your services during the probation period without giving reasons or notice or salary in lieu of notice period, the employee also enjoys all the same/similar rights. Therefore, you are well within your rights to resign. However, in my view, and you must make sure of this, even during the Probation Period, there will be some notice period specified in your offer. I can't imagine a company that would have an employment contract without even a short period as a Notice Period as some exit processes have to be concluded and a replacement needs to be chosen. Please check your offer condition in detail or talk to your HR and find out if there are internal policies regarding Notice Period during Probation. Rights are equal anyway between employer and employee. Notice Period can never be one-sided.

Dear suri04in,
I completely understand your question with the wrong caption ;) However, let me tell you that it all depends on the "Letter of Intent," "Letter of Offer," or the "Appointment Letter" which was given to you.
One quick question, have you signed and given back the photocopy of the appointment letter? If so, you, as an employee, have to abide by all the regulations mentioned in the offer. If you are sure that there was no mention of a "Notice Period" in the letter, then you are free :)

Usually when you are on a probation, you need not serve the notice period. However, please check your appointment letter to know the correct tems and conditions applicable to your company.
