Hi, my company has been delaying my salary every month for the past few months. To be exact, the basic salary should be credited to me at the end of each month, but I'm receiving it mostly the following month, sometimes even delayed until the second week of the following month. I have heard that there is a law indicating that salaries shouldn't be delayed beyond the 7th of the next month.
Considering Leaving Due to Salary Delays
Currently, I am considering leaving the company as I cannot tolerate the situation any longer, and I have received an offer from another company. I am not particularly concerned about the delayed salary (today is June 9, and I have not received my May salary yet). The resignation notice period required by my company is two months, but the job offer I have is urgent.
Questions About Resignation Notice Period
So, my question is, can I avoid the two months' resignation notice period by citing the salary delay as the reason? Can I leave the company immediately based on this reason? Would a 24-hour notice be acceptable? Even if the company deposits my salary tomorrow, I have already made up my mind to leave. Would leaving in this manner be considered a breach of contract, especially when the company has repeatedly violated labor laws by delaying salaries?
I am willing to forego receiving the latest salary if I leave promptly, though by "immediately," I do not mean abruptly. As a professional, I will ensure a smooth handover of my responsibilities to my replacement or another colleague. I can manage this transition for a week for the benefit of the company's workflow and my professional reputation.
I appreciate your response. Thank you.
