Can I leave my job before the notice period ends?

Hi,

I received a termination letter from my company, and I want to leave before the notice period ends because it is 3 months, and I need to have surgery.

Is that possible?

Dear Questioner,

Yes, it is possible only if your employer accepts. Otherwise, you have to serve your notice period.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

Leaving before the notice period finishes would typically require your employer's consent.

Discuss your situation and the need for surgery with your employer. If they agree, they may allow an early departure.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Questioner,

If you wish to resign without serving the required notice period, you must pay the employer a "notice period" allowance, which is equal to your wage for the full notice period.

I received a termination notice, not a resignation. Is it the same?

Yes!
