I worked 2 years in a good publicly listed company. When I joined the contract terms said 3 months notice period. This year in Apr the HR sent over email that there will be Garden leave applicable to leavers on case basis that will be additional to notice period. Now I resigned in Jul'24. My manager has come back saying, I have to serve extra 3 weeks beyond notice period as Garden leave. My next company was already uncomfortable with 3 month notice period as too long and now 3 more weeks is making the situation tense. Please advice what should be my course ? Also, if I don't go with Garden leave and try to join next company after 3 month notice period, will there be any legal implications? Ps: 3 week garden leave is told to me via one to one email from reporting manager and not the HR or any senior executive.

Ans: Dear Sir/ Mam,

Here, the only way is communicating honestly with your new employer and letting them know on the current challenge and in parallel trying to convince your current employer to relieve you early.

Hope this helps
Thanks

Hi sir I could not serve my 3 months notice period however I had served 2 months and asked HR to give me early reliving. I mentioned that my parents are not well and attached medical prescription but they denied and said you to serve complete 3 months. After 2 months I stopped going to office they were sending me absconding mails meanwhile and after 1month they sent me termination letter what shall I do In such case ? I was working there for 2 years.

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!

Hi Sir, in my Company the notice period is 3 months and I got an offer from another Company but asking me to join in 1 month. My Company is not accepting waiver for the waiver for the Notice Period. In this scenario, what are the options available to me under the Employment laws.

Ans: Navigating the notice period can be challenging, especially when there’s a new opportunity waiting for you. Under Indian employment laws, here are some options you might consider:

Negotiation: You can try to negotiate with your current employer for an early release. This could involve offering to train a replacement or demonstrating how your early departure won’t negatively impact the team.
Buyout Option: Some companies allow employees to buy out their notice period by paying a sum equivalent to the salary for the remaining notice period.
Mutual Consent: If both parties agree, the notice period can be waived or reduced. It’s worth having a discussion with your employer to see if this is a possibility.
Legal Advice: If negotiations fail, you may want to seek legal advice to understand if there are any specific clauses in your employment contract or company policies that could be leveraged in your favor.
Review Employment Contract: Check your employment contract for any clauses that might allow for a shorter notice period under certain circumstances.
Remember, the approach you take should be in line with the terms of your employment contract and the applicable laws. It’s important to handle the situation professionally to maintain a positive relationship with your current employer while transitioning to the new opportunity. Good luck!

Hi sir, I have joined in the company for four years contract basis initial period one year and extendable more three years as per project requirements and performance of the candidate. During the initial period, I was suffered with fever and took the rest for 15-20days with intimation of mail and phone communication. But now they found the 20 loss of pay in the initial period of one year contract and saying that your job not extended more contract year because you have LOP's in the last one year. But, I Informed to the office through phon and mail communication at that time and submitted the Doctor certificate also. But, now they are not extending my job. What can I do now? Is there any rights to fight with them legally. Plz let me know sir, I have all avidance/proof of documents for that loss of pay leaves. Company does not provided the sick leaves for contract basis employees. Iam not understanding what I have to do next ? Plz give me information.

Ans: Dear G

I can appreciate your situation, while you may have all the proof, however I would suggest avoid legal battle. Imagine even if you win the case will company people support you when you work with them.

Better part ways in good terms and seek alternative job.

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

It totally depends on the policy of the company. Please go back and check the policy. Speak to HR and understand how does it work and how can they help close this positively. When it comes to polices not much one can do. If they want to go a certain there is no or very possibility of you convincing them. Instead request them to help you to come to a win win situation.
Tip do not burn the bridges with anyone in the existing company.

Hope this helps

Hindi I am a non maharashtra student and I have scored 99.05 percentile in MHT-CET. Can I get admission in ILS Pune BA.LLB. if my category is general?

Ans: With a 99.05 percentile in MHT-CET, you have a strong chance of getting into ILS Pune for the BA.LLB. program, even as a non-Maharashtra (OMS) candidate in the general category. ILS Pune is a highly sought-after college, and a 99+ percentile is generally considered a good score for securing a seat.

Relationship

, I have been married for almost 14 years and have a 10 year old. A few months ago my husband found some intimate chats of mine with someone else. I am extremely remorseful of my actions. Honestly those chats happened because my husband never showed me any love or concern. However I know that's not excuse to have those chats. After seeing those chats he got extremely angry and threw me out of the house. It's been more than 3 months. He is not willing to forgive me. He wants separation and he has told our daughter also that we are separated. I am so heartbroken that because of my blunder I lost my husband and daughter. Is there any way I can get back with my husband

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
There are always going to be reasons to do something or not do something and there is no point mulling over it.
For your husband, his trust has been broken!
Now, is it hard to bring back that trust? Yes, especially with the way your husband has reacted on it. He does seem sensitive about the whole thing and understand that it has possibly hit the pride of a man who is meant to keep his family happy and safe. Suddenly, the world that he had protected is encroached upon by another man. Your husband is bound to feel 'less', 'inadequate' and 'worthless'. That is why he has opted to separate as he finds it difficult to reconcile or even think of why he could not take care of his family.
Now, rather than beating yourself up for it, gather the courage to talk to your husband requesting him for a one on one chat with you. If you want this marriage to work, even your husband needs to work with you...no point acting on it the way he has and not take the responsibility of connecting with you emotionally that could possibly have been one of the reasons that you sought comfort elsewhere. An expert intervention will help provided your husband is also willing.

All the best!

Question by Niveditha - Jun 07, 2025Hindi

Relationship

Hi ma'am I'm 25 years old and my relationship with my parents is getting sour since a very long time they always want me to do everything that makes them happy and think about their happiness if I ever think about my happiness or do anything that makes me happy then they fight with me and portray me as a bad daughter and my dad has always said that if she will ever think about her happiness or do anything that makes her happy then I'm gonna leave everything and go so does my mom she also threatened to cut ties with me if I ever do anything that makes me happy my parents never supported me for anything they never ask me who I wanna get married to who I'll b happy with what profession i wanna take nothing but it's always about them in my family there are 16 members who have had love marriage and inter religion marriages my grandmother stays 15kms away from my house she has 3 kids 2 of her daughters had a love marriage one to a muslim one to a hindu her one daughter ran and got married to a hindu guy at that time my mom dad and her mom didn't even say a word but accepted him with open arms and my grandmother got her 2nd daughter married to her boyfriend who is a muslim during Covid 2020 without informing any of our relatives when my parents got to know about her daughters marriage they invited her for lunch at my place they didn't even say a word or opposed that marriage but accepted him with open arms and showered them with love When I fell in love with a hindu guy my mom started to seperate me from him and she is telling everyone to brainwash me to leave the person person I love and find a suitable Christian guy for me when ever we go to my grandmother's house my mom always brings up my boyfriend's topic and start fighting with me infront of them we went there 3 times and all the 3 times she fighted with me and told everyone to brainwash me my mom always support my grandmother's children if anything happens to them she will call them 10 times and ask how they are and when my grandmother was ill treating me my mom didn't even take a stand for me or raised her voice for me but she was watching everything as a movie is going on when I was crying after we came back to my house my mom didn't even ask me what am I going through she always support my grandmother who did bad with me if they will say not to let her work and get her married my mom will listen to her and her daughters and my grandmother also started forcing me that I should also listen to her and get married to a guy who they choose and i should not at all think about my happiness and what makes me happy in my life and i should think about her and my parents happiness and my uncle who lives in Hyderabad he also started to get interfere in my personal life since the time he got to know I fell in love with a hindu guy he also started to seperate me from him and forcefully get me marriage to a guy of his choice my uncle's wife has been expired 15 years back and this age he has a girlfriend who lives in banglore she is a divorcee and her daughter is also a divorcee who he met in Facebook i didn't interfere in anyone's personal life or seperated them from their boyfriend or girlfriend and everyone who have had love marriages in my family and everyone are happy with their partners when it comes to me my parents uncle my grandmother and her daughters who have had love marriage always try to seperate me from my boyfriend and forcefully get me married to a Christian guy if anyone in my family will fall in love with a inter religion person then he/she is a good guy/girl according to them if I fall in love they seperate me from him and forcefully get me Married to a Christian guy i told my parents many times to talk to him and know him but they are like no we don't like him and they always say he is not a good person and always judge my boyfriend even without talking or knowing him once but for others even without talking to their partners they say he is a good person and they will accept him with open arms and also invite them for lunch and everything and will always stay at their place during trips but if I do they will mentally harass me to leave the person I love and get married to a guy of their choice recently we went to Bangalore for my sister's marriage who also had a love marriage at that time my uncle had come to the wedding and he was asking my mom did u brainwash her to leave him and get her married to someone else and my mom was saying yes I did with my aunt's daughter who also had love marriage I don't understand why they always try to seperate me from the person I love and forcefully get me married to someone else who I'm not at all interested in when I'm telling them about him they are not ready to listen to me at all plus they are mentally harassing me to leave him if I take help of any of my relatives who had love marriages in this matter they will not listen to me but force me to listen to my parents and do as they say what should I do ma'am I'm shattered

Ans: Dear Niveditha,
I gather that many members of your family are against your relationship and interfering in a way that will keep you away from him. My question to you is: Are you financially independent? If Yes, it helps you stand up for yourself. But is NO, then this will make you vulnerable to their decisions...
Now another question: why are they so against this boy? Is he younger to you or not working and financially sound? I mean, what is the reason according to you that they have chosen to be against this when they are okay with others in the family doing the same?
There is surely something that they are not comfortable when it comes to the boy that you are in love with. Find out what that is; it's the question of you life, so don't be so floored by love that you miss out on a red flag. Also, it will help if you stop comparing your situation to others and indulge in so much self-pity. Focus on what exactly is going on, ask your parents as a mature adult on why they dislike the boy and understand if it's real or not and act accordingly. so much of blame game and self-pity will only take your focus out and you will end up more miserable and not do what's the right thing for yourself.

All the best!
