Dear Client,

Notice period is binding, if not serve than have to pay damages for breach of agreement, if such clause exits otherwise NO.

You are not bound to work against your wish but than have to comply breach clause if any.

1) One should have resigned from company on medical ground, so if you had MBBS doctor certificate from any family member or on your name and wants to resigned from company and won't be able to serve notice period for 3 months.

Whether or not the notice period can be waived off(even if you are ready to buy-out the same), has been left to the final discretion of the company.

Having said that, you do not have to pay them a penny in case you are ready to serve during the 4 months of notice period.

Their demand of Rs. 6 lacs from you is illegitimate.

Hello,

If there is a clause of notice period and you have agreed for the same then you will have to abide by the same any act contrary to the same shall be treated as breach of contract.

if you do not served notice period then they might file a case of breach of contract and claim damages thereupon.

Regards

you have breach the terms of the agreement so you are liable to pay as per law but you can request them personally .

Hello

You have resigned from the company but you have to serve the notice period and if you are not going to do it then the company can extract fine as you are honouring the agreement. Therefore you should either pay the amount or serve the notice period.

Regards

There is no question of paying Rs 6 lakhs

2) you have to give 3 months notice

3) you must serve notice period

4) it is at discretion of company to waive notice period

You need to send them legal notice the agreement is unilateral and is against principles of natural justice send notice stating that you are ready to pay three months notice duration salary and they have no right to seek for 6 lakh as no amount is mentioned in your agreement. If they do not agree you will be forced to approach court claiming for damages from company to the damage that appear to your career. Your company can relive you after taking three months salary or ask you to serve three months make a representation to them first orally if they don't agree send legal notice through a lawyer.

Sir since as per the agreement notice period is discretion of the company of you don't serve same they can file a suit against you for the damages and can proceed against you legally since there is agreement on record there is no way out of this you have to contest it in court if you leave without giving notice and serving notice period.

Firslty, as per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the wordings of the agreement are mostly combat favourable.

Secondly, but yes, there has been a presumption in he law that the agreement must not be agaisnt second party wholly.

Thirdly, they have forgot to mention that if someone can’t serve the notice period then what should be done.

Fourhtly, the agreement is not good, you should challenge it before civil court of law.

Dear Sir

A Legal Notice may solve your problem if your contention is correct.

Please have chill because they are right but this is nothing but a sort of pressure technique. First ask extension of joining date where you have selected now generally this period they may extend to two months then inform your present employer for the date of two months so in this way you cam dilute the matter otherwise as you have signed the contract/appointment letter you have to obey, so , please try to dilute the matter and not be so rigid.

1. The company intentionally dragging this issue, i guess. Company can not force you to serve 3 month notice period, even though there is clause on the contract to serve 3 month notice period.

2. Issue legal notice ( to both HR Manager and Reporting manager ) stating that you are ready to pay 3 month gross salary without serving notice period.

3. You may approach me for further opinion.

Have you sent the resignation letter in writing and have an acknowledgment for the same?

Did they give a reply in writing demanding the amount as well as the service of notice period?

No doubt there is no clause for compensation of notice period as per your post, however you may offer to serve the notice period but can refuse the payment of Rs. 6 lakhs denying any such liability or breach of agreement.

You can issue a legal notice to them seeking the desired reliefs and demand the settlement as per the clauses of termination.

After that you can plan to initiate further legal action as per law.

You are liable to serve the requisite notice period as per agreement and it is completely at the discretion of your employer whether he wants to accept salary amount in lieu of the notice period but their demands of rupees 6 lacs is untenable under no circumstances you should pay that amount.

The maximum amount you can be made to pay if you do not serve the notice period can be your 3 month salary and nothing else.

This is my response to you:

1. Either the company can ask you to complete the notice period or forfeit salary;

2. They cannot at the same time ask you to, pay the compensation of 6 lacs;

3. If you do not wish to serve the notice period then, you have to surrender the salary;

4. Even then it is the discretion of the company to buy out the notice period;

5. So consult a local lawyer, let him/her verify your appointment letter and then take next steps.
