A.Dear Client,

When an employee resigns from a company, they are typically bound by the terms and conditions outlined in their appointment letter or employment contract. Failing to abide by these terms can have consequences, including potential disciplinary actions, termination, or other legal ramifications.

It's important for employees to carefully review their employment agreement and follow the stipulated procedures for resignation. This may include providing the required notice period, adhering to any non-compete clauses, and ensuring a smooth transition from the current role.

Engaging in dual employment or overlapping service without proper documentation or approval may lead to complications and legal issues. Employers may take disciplinary action if they find that an employee has breached the terms of their employment agreement.

To avoid potential consequences, employees should communicate openly with their current employer about their intention to resign and follow the prescribed procedures. Seeking legal advice, if needed, can also provide clarity on the specific terms of the employment contract and the potential consequences of any actions taken during or after the resignation process.

A.Dear Client,
No, not at all. The terms of his appointment letter govern an employee while employed by a Company. So, on resignation, you have to abide by the terms and conditions of your employment otherwise you have to face consequences for breach of contract including disciplinary actions and even termination from the service on proven misconduct. You may also face the consequences of dual employment and overlapping of service if you join another employer without relieving yourself from earlier employment.
