Status of resignation in case of working for different companies

Hello Raluca,

I have recently decided to resign from my position from my company as I have completed 6 months duration and am on an unlimited visa.

My query is that the company that I am actually working for which I want to resign is not the same company that has provided me visa and contract.

And as per the law, I am required to serve at least 30 days of notice period and I don't want to be in a situation where I serve my notice period with my existing company but then they file a case against me later on via the other company that actually gave me visa and contract stating that I have not completed my 30 days notice period.

Can you please guide me on how to take this situation forward?

Regards,

A. M.

Dear A.,

Do you know if there is any Secondment Agreement signed between both companies?

In your case, I suggest you submit the resignation letter to both companies (to be on the safe side) and to mention that you will complete the notice period mentioned in your employment contract.

In case you face any issues, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Raluca Gatina.

Thanks, Raluca.

Yes, I have notified both companies about my resignation to be on the safe side.

My company is trying very hard to retain me but I am not sure. In case I need your services, I will surely contact you!

Thank you!
