Questions & Answers
Can I serve one month out of three months notice period to take another offer?
Hi,
Good Day
I would like to inquire regarding my case.
Currently, I have a limited contract with 3 months notice period. My first contract started in November 2020 and ended in 2022.
I recently (December 2022) renewed my limited contract after finishing my first contract with the same company. Now I got an offer from another company with a 50% hike in salary and the new company can hire me only if I join within a month's time.
My present company is having 3 months notice period. I am willing to serve 1 month's notice period and ready to compensate for the remaining two months.
My current employer is not accepting this and asking me to serve 3 months. Is there any option that I can move out after serving one month's notice period and without getting a labor ban?
Kindly advise.
Hi,
You will have to abide by your employment contract and serve him 3 months' written notice as the employer is not agreeing to the compensation.
If you leave in between, it will amount to a breach of the contract and the employer can put a labor ban on you.
So, it is advisable to negotiate with him, and if he agrees get everything in writing to avoid any future implications.
Thanks
