• Notice period Buyout , Experience and Relieving letter

Hello All,

I have an official notice period of 60 days and planning to buyout 40 days of Notice Period. The term in my offer letter says that I need to pay my basic salary in lieu off my notice period. I am ready to pay the buyout amount as I don't want to abscond. I shall be clearly writing these details in my resignation. 
Now my question is:
1- Can the company deny me the waive off in notice period? (I am paying the buyout amount as per terms of offer letter)
2- Can the company deny my relieving and experience letter, because I am paying the buyout amount as per offer letter terms?
3- What are the actions that I can take against the company if they don't agree to waive off my notice period because they would be forcing me to work against my will.
4- Is there any action that company take against me as I am complying with the terms ?

1. No , not at all, they have to follow what has been in terms and conditions of the appointment and you also, if you want to buy out you can.

2. Why , they can't they have to issue these documents.

3. First join another company if joining after submitting conditional resignation then ask for the clearance of the dues, if they don't agree , then give a complaint to the Labour Department under ULP.

4. Nothing, if they start this is harassment then also file a complaint against the company with the labour department.

Resignation is unilateral act on part of an employee. There is some misconception about it. Being its nature of unilateral act its effects are immediate in ending up employment relationship. It acts instantly. No way depends upon your releiving by the employer.

releiving order makes you free from all sort of liabilities to your employer. Your company can deny your relieving if you are not clear of your dues or any liabilities to the company.

but the company can not force you to work after resignation. Nor they keep you on their roll.

you can join any other job after resignation while releiving is pending.

1. If there is an option to buy out notice period then the company is bound to give you such option unless this option is to be exercised at the sole discretion of the company.

2. If the office is in mood of denying your rights then certainly it can refuse you to get relieving letter without complying with their terms.

3. You can simply quit provided your new employer is ready to dispense with your relieving letter Else you will have approach the labour court.

4. No under the circumstances.

Company must have reserve the right to accept waiver of notice period. But as per law, you can`t force to work agasint your choice and entitle to buy NP. But company may refuse.

Relieving and experience letter, you can get by approaching labor commissioner.

Company can retain F&F.

if company deny your buyout notice you may issue them a legal notice through a lawyer.

If company has no problem with you buying out
the notice period then it will definitely provide
you with relieving and other necessary
letter/documents.
But if company asks you to serve the notice period
then you will be required to do so.

it is at discretion of company to waive notice period 

 

2) company ought to  give you experience letter and relieving letter 

 

3) if company refuses to waive notice period you have to serve the notice period mentioned in your appointment letter 

 

4) if company refuses to give you relieving letter inspite of serving notice period issue legal notice to company to furnish you relieving letter and experience letter

1. You may revisit the employment offer  letter for the conditions on this, generally you can buy out the notice period by paying the prescribed amount as compensation towards the remaining period of notice period.

2. The company can do that but in that circumstances you may issue a legal notice mentioning the terms and conditions as mentioned i the offer letter to your defence. 

3. You can initiate legal action by first  sending them a legal notice in this and then further legal steps.

4. They may threaten to initite legal action but actually they may spoil your career on the background verification by the new employer as a revenge.

No the company cannot deny waiving off for notice period if you are ready to pay the basic salary of leftover period. 

No company cannot deny the relieving and experience letter. 

You can send them a legal notice and file suit against them for mandatory injunction.

No if you are complying with the terms of joining letter then company cannot sue you.
