Does the employer have to accept the resignation to start the notice period?

Sir/Ma'am,

I sent my resignation through email but they rejected it and also told me that I face legal consequences. I am on probation period.

Does my employer have to accept the resignation to start the notice period?

What should I do? Will I serve my notice period?

Dear sir/madam,

You can leave work without your employer's consent, but you have to send him an official email telling him that you will leave the job, even if your application is rejected before you complete the six months.

You should review your employment contract to make sure if there are penal clauses or not.

Sir, I sent my resignation but he rejected it and asked for visa fees then to leave.

Please review the employment contract well. Is there a condition in the contract in case of submitting the resignation during the trial period you bear the cost of the sign?

It is OK. You can resign within the probation period but if the employer refused, you have to inform MOHRE to register a complaint against the employer to avoid the ban.

After completing my notice period or before filing a complain at MOHRE?

Before the end of the notice period.

Thank you so much, sir for clearing my doubts!
