Can I leave the country during my notice period ?

Hi Sir/Madam,

I am in my notice period at my current company. I have tendered my notice. Eid holidays are also within my notice period.

If I leave the country for a short visit during Eid, am I breaching my notice period?

Can my employer object?

Dear Questioner,

The employee shall work during the notice period if the employer orders him to do so.

If they don't ask you to work, you can travel.

To clarify, can the employer also order to work on public holidays (which will fall during the notice period)?

Hi,

You can travel during the Eid holidays.

It is not required to inform your employer.

Dear Questioner,

No, you are not.

Even though you are in a notice period, you can take your holidays.
