In my company, at the time of appointment, it is clearly mentioned that the notice period will be 15 days when leaving. However, now the company has merged with another company and is stating that all policies have been changed. They are now indicating that if anybody is leaving the organization, they must provide a notice period of 2 months, and earned leave (E.L) will not be calculated for the notice period. The complete 2 months notice period must be served, and if there are remaining E.L days, they will be given as encashment during the full and final settlement. If not provided, the resignation will be mentioned as absconding in the relieving letter.

Definitions of Resignation and Absconding

Kindly suggest the definitions of resignation and absconding.

Management's Responsibility During a Merger

When a merger occurs, it is the responsibility of the management to communicate the revised rules to the employees without fail. If not, the existing rules will prevail.

Terms and Conditions of Employment

What are the terms and conditions of your employment? If you are not provided with the revised letter, then the prevailing rules only apply.

Notice Period and Leave Policies

In general, availing long leave during the notice period is not accepted, and the encashed amount shall be paid along with the full and final settlement. Please talk to HR, convince them, and get it cleared because it will be difficult to proceed with the service certificate showing "Resigned and absconding." This implies that you have not served the notice period after submitting the resignation and have been absent from duties without authorization.
