I'm working in an MNC for the past 4 years, and until now, the notice period was 30 days. Recently, we received an email stating the notice period is changed from 30 days to 90 days. I had a discussion with my manager, stating I do not accept this because it is a very stringent policy change. The HR and my manager said a company has the right to change policies.
Terms of Employment
As per the terms of employment given to us when joining the company, there is a line mentioned: "Your employment for Solutions Private Limited will be governed by the Company's policies, as modified, from time to time and at the Company’s sole discretion, upon notice to you.
The terms and conditions contained herein ("Terms of Employment") must be read in conjunction with Company policies. Any policy infraction will amount to a breach of your terms of employment and may lead to the termination of your services. These Terms of Employment and policies shall be subject to modifications, from time to time, upon notice to you."
Notice Period Policy
This point is given as a heading and below along with other points. The point for notice period is:
"10.3. (a) If your career level is 8 to 13 and you are assigned/deployed to the Contact Center Business deal: You may at any time terminate your employment by giving the Company thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice. Upon you providing such notice, approval of any request for early release and/or any kind of waiver will be granted at the sole discretion of the Company and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company, including and not limited to the recovery in lieu of notice period not served."
Can you please advise what action I can take? My manager said that the company has the right to change the policy. Please advise if my company can change the policy for existing employees or not.
