Dear HR/ Legal expert

My company changed my service notice period in the confirmation letter against the offer letter. Is this legal?

thanks in advance

you need to bring this up directly to the HR...could be a typo but who knows, best to seek clarification.

Can u be more specific please?

As we all know during probation period notice period usually is 24hours whilst for permanent position varies from 30-120days.

in the employment letter the service notice after confirmation is one month but when the confirmation letter issued it is now 3 months.

yes they still stand for the new term.

What position may i ask?

U have 2 choices either accept or leave.
Although u can accept but later still leave after 1 month notice period and i doubt they would take legal actions against u.


U can go fight for 1 month even and if u win u still lose coz relationship already sour u think u still got bright future there?

Thanks, it was just issued without any acceptance or my acknowledgement.

service notice period after confirmation actually works both ways, is either you like it or you don't, nothing in between.

Bad is dragging to work and trying to complete the day for the next 3 months can take a toll on your body, mind and soul.

Good is you have sufficient time to plan especially for senior positions.

Rule of thumb, non-exec and exec role - 1 month, senior and manager role - 3 months.

yeah i have no issue except the way they changed my terms without consent is dissappointing.

that is the first red flag already.

lol i thought so

Technically u havent signed the letter right?
And its not wrong for company to restructure/change their rules/operations from time to time.

Perhaps they realized 1 month is not enough for handover job to new employee?
Imagine u tell HR u want to resign and tomorrow HR hire new employee to takeover ur position meh?

All in all if u think not fair then go ask for reason. Accept if u can, else bid goodbye.
