Dear Mayank,
I work in a bank and have resigned from my services on February 16, 2022.
As per the bank’s policy, I need to serve three months’s notice period. But, due to some contingency, I need reliving before that (in early April).
I approached them stating I am ready to buy my notice period for the defaulting days but my bank is completely denying that and is saying that I cannot buy my notice period and they have no such concept.
I have worked with two banks previously and both banks had a provision that if employees need early relieving, they can buy their notice period.
Can my current bank deny my request of early relieving by buying my notice period?
They are also threatening me that if I stop coming they will approach the police and they will get me picked up from my home.
I’m really depressed and don’t know what to do.
I am not joining any other organisation but, due to personal issues, I need early relieving.
Please advise. Can my bank be so brutal?
Thanks and regards.

Ans: Hi Gokulraaj,
If you are resigning due to health issues, you can provide a medical certificate to your employer, and they should then issue your experience certificate. If they still do not provide it, you can let them know that you have no option left but to pursue legal action. I hope this helps resolve the issue.

Ans: I’m sorry to hear about your situation. When facing termination due to not serving the full notice period, it’s important to understand your rights and the potential legal implications. Here’s what you can consider doing:

Review Your Employment Contract: Check the terms regarding the notice period and termination. There might be provisions for situations like medical emergencies.
Legal Consultation: It may be beneficial to consult with a labor law attorney who can provide advice based on the specifics of your case and the applicable laws.
Documentation: Gather all relevant documentation, including the medical prescriptions you submitted, any communication from HR, and the termination letter.
Negotiation: You could attempt to negotiate with your employer, explaining the situation with your parents and seeking a compassionate resolution.
Labor Office: If negotiation fails, you may approach the local labor office or labor court for guidance and to explore options for redressal.
Understand Legal Precedents: Familiarize yourself with any legal precedents that may apply to your case. For instance, the Supreme Court has provided judgments on employment notice periods that might offer insights into your rights and obligations.
Remember, each situation is unique, and the best course of action depends on the specifics of your employment contract and the company’s policies. It’s crucial to handle the matter professionally and legally to ensure the best possible outcome. Good luck!

Any deductions can happen only as per appointment letter. Suggest you take it up with HR.

All the best.
