What is the notice period in case of resignation during probation?
Q: I have been working in a hospital for 5 months when I submitted my resignation. I am a laboratory professional but my visa is archive clerk. My contract states I (may) work under 6 months probation period and states that the notice period is 3 months when either party terminates the contract. My question is I am still in the probation period, does this notice still applies? I tried to compensate for my remaining notice but they said they are currently not accepting it because there is no applicant but they are not posting their vacancy. Is there anything I can do to lessen my notice period? Thank you. Questions & Answers
