Hi,
I am working in one of the Top 3 IT companies in India. I have a question. Almost every IT company has a rule of serving a Notice Period for 2 months. The 2-month Notice period is meant for completing the incomplete tasks, giving KT, Transition Period, and all. But what if an employee is on the bench (free pool)? Does he still need to give a 2-month notice period?
Thanks,
Rahul

It is not only for completing the incomplete task, but also for the HR department to recruit another person in your place so that you can successfully hand over the charge of your position before leaving the organization. Maybe for this reason, the notice period is important in every type of organization.

If your appointment term specifies the NP, then it is. However, to a great extent, it is in the hands of the immediate supervisor to waive it.
The other option is to get it reimbursed from the employer whom you are to join.

The intention behind the notice period is to recruit the new person to fill the vacancy before the current employee leaves the company. The departing employee is required to complete their existing responsibilities. Therefore, even if a candidate is on the bench, they must serve the notice period as defined by the company.

Dear Rahul,
If you have been benched, it implies that the company already has enough human resources to carry out its work. If you have other options, exercise them and move on, buddy. Request an early exit if you have another job in hand; usually, companies are open to discussions on such matters. All the best.
