Dear all,
I am working in a hotel as a general manager. Past week, my organization issues me a transfer letter. I was supposed to handover my duties to my junior in the same day of receiving the transfer letter & join the new place next day immediately. Seeing this unprofessional attitude of management, I submitted my resignation letter within 02 hours of receiving the transfer letter along with one month's notice period. Now these people are trying to force me to serve my notice period at my new place which I seems quite unethical! And if I won't join there at new place, they gonna charge penalty of 02 months salary from me. Also from past 03 months, I am getting only 50% of my salary (due to COVID I guess) but they haven't issued any letter regarding this deduction to any of their employees till date. If I submit medical leave certificate indicating 03 to 04 weeks of bedrest to me due to slipped disc issue, will it help me in smooth exit with my unprofessional organization with experience certificate? What other steps can I take. Requesting you to kindly help me in this case.
1) As you have said you have got the transfer letter and then later you had given your resignation letter after 2 hours, so by default your company is on the winning side … as they have given your transfer letter First & then you are putting the resignation letter so as per the rule you will have to resign from your new posting transfer letter office address.
2) Also you are mentioned that if you want join the new place they will charge penalty of two month salary from you. Now in case you don't want to go to the new place make sure that they are going to cut only 50% of the salary as your current salary is ONLY 50 % due to covid reasons.. confirm it with the HR department are they going to cut only the 50% of the payment of two months. Also make sure you have another good job in your hand prior to exiting of this current job, there is a slight Market Recession.
3) If you can manage to get a medical certificate for 3 to 4 weeks you may get exit from this organization, but they may not give you a good reference when you are joining some other firm/ Hotel they may not give your BG check with a good opinion..N may have a negative impact on your new joining...
4) The final call is yours as if you are ready to compromise the 50% of their current salary and confirm it with the HR department are they going to cut only the 50% of the payment of two months,…. means that will be actually one month payment of normal time.
