Forced to serve 90 days notice period
2 years ago
Hi
My current company HR is adamant of not approving my early exit release process citing company policy change.
As per details mentioned in my offer letter,I can pay for the unserved notice period equivalent to my current salary structure. But now they are saying that it is as per management discretion and the policy has changed in last 3 months and not a single day can be exempted from notice period under any special circumstances as well.
I need to know my options and alternative to this bonded pressure I am currently facing from my HR & Manager. Is it legal & ethical for any organisation to change the policy without informing the employer & trying to use against them later.
Thanks
Yes the company has a right to change it's policies without even asking the employees. Although it's is mandatory for them to inform the employees that the HR policy has been changed. But still you could make the company act as per the term and conditions agreed by you and the company in the service agreement while joining the company. If they still doesn't comply then you could surely proceed in the civil court.
Thanks.

It's completely unethical to change the company policy without informing the company employees. The company is liable to act as per the agreement signed between the company and the employe. They cannot change the policy without informing the employees.
