I have resigned from my job, and the company is asking me to serve a notice period of 60 days. However, I have chosen to work for 34 days. Now, the company is not accepting my resignation. I have stated that they can adjust my balance leave, and if there is any amount to pay, I am ready to pay. However, they are not accepting it. What should I do?

Employer's Discretion in Notice Period Buyout

As far as the interest of the organization is concerned, the employer is typically considered the superior party in the contract of employment. This is why an overriding discretion is vested in the employer to either accept or reject the buyout option of the notice period by the employee in the matter of resignation. Whether the reasons are feigned or real, the employer can exercise this discretion as they see fit, ostensibly in the interest of the organization's work.

Therefore, if the likelihood of the employer rejecting the buyout offer is high, the only viable option for an exiting employee is to plan their exit in such a way that they serve most, if not all, of the notice period.

Understanding Your Appointment Clause

The clause of your appointment applies to you. If there is a buyout option clause for the notice period, you can exercise it. Otherwise, you have to serve the notice period as specified in the terms of appointment. When seeking a solution, please attach the letter of appointment for a better understanding of the issues.
