As it is clearly mentioned in the agreement that it would be the descretion of the company whether to relieve you after payment of the salary in lieu of the notice period.
So, you can only request them, if they do not agree, you do not have any legal recourse.
See the buyout is possible on discretion of the company you cannot force company to adjust you have to serve the notice period if you fail the company can claim the damages from you. The agreement clearly states the above condition.
1)it is at discretion of company to waive the notice period
2) you cannot force company to accept salary in lieu of notice period
As per this clause you are not entitled to get relieve order. As fas as notice is concerned 3 months notice is required as per the clause.
This is my response to you:
1. To buy out the notice period is the sole discretion of the company;
2. If they allow or not is upto them;
3. Though you can always send them a legal notice stating that for your interest the company should allow you to buy out the notice period;
4. Try negotiation by yourself or appoint a lawyer to do the same on your behalf.
Dear Client,
Buyout is subject to discretion of the company. Not possible until company agree to it.
If you're terms of appointment provides this kind of conditions of course you can do so and if your employer is not ready to relieve you and the buy out of leave and payment for the pound you can move and petition to High Court in this regard for breach of your constitutional right.
You can provide documentation regarding your resignation and your willingness to buy the leave and payment for the bond in your petition to the High Court.
Hi,
As per the input by you, the company is at higher footing and you may not buyout the notice period.
As per the clause you may not be able to buy out the notice period.
However you send the communication containing your decision to resign the job by registered post and make your intentions clear to buyout the notice period
Let the company give a reply refs=using to accept your request after which you can plan suitable legal action on this.
Hello,
the clause mentions the "discretion of the company" and hence it is upon the company to accept or reject your buy out request.
