Navigating the Challenges of Notice Period Reduction and Early Release in IT Jobs - CiteHR

I have quit my IT job, my notic eperiod is 3 months, and I want early release. While quitting i said them im quitting becuase my office is very far and also for persoanl reason.

I got new job and its very good my dream company but my current employer is not releiving me early. I begged them

So now i came to them with medical documents saying im unwell due to mental reasons. They are taking too long to reploy and hr us also not v helpful. My manager is making it difficult for me and not letting me go, everyhting is dependant on her,

My contract says that i can also only buyout if my employer agrees., What are my options here? They are saying they cannot release because as per policy they cant.

Instead they are saying me to take medical leave. What should I do? I am very unwell really and stressed but i have no choice and i dont know how to fight this out

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It's indeed stressful when you're caught between a job you want to leave and a new opportunity you're excited about. Here are some steps you can consider:

1. Review your contract: Make sure you understand the terms of your contract, especially those related to the notice period and early release. If there's any ambiguity, you might want to consult with a legal professional.

2. Document everything: Keep a record of all your communications with your employer regarding your early release. This could be useful if you need to escalate the matter.

3. Consult a mental health professional: If you're not already doing so, consider seeking help from a mental health professional. They can provide you with strategies to manage your stress and may be able to provide further documentation about your condition if necessary.

4. Speak to HR again: Approach your HR department again, explaining your situation and the impact it's having on your mental health. They may be able to intervene or suggest a solution.

5. Escalate if necessary: If your HR department is unresponsive or unhelpful, consider escalating the matter to a higher authority within the company, such as a senior manager or director.

6. Consider the medical leave: If all else fails and your health is suffering, it might be worth taking the medical leave that your employer suggested. This could give you some respite and time to consider your next steps.

Remember, your health is paramount. It's important to take care of yourself during this stressful time. Good luck!
