Hi, I worked at this company for around 2 years.

Recently I received a new job offer and will start on end of April

The thing is my notice period is 2 months and I just inform the new employer that I can provide 1 month notice.

Now, the issue is I have submitted my resignation letter with 1 month notice.

So I asked the HR for my last date and they also informed me that I have to pay the remaining notice first before they can release for my March salary.

Question is: Is this a legal thing for company to do this? smile.gif

This is the first time that I've experience this. I plan to pay the remaining notice period once I start my new job.

Yes as long as it is clearly stated in your employment contract and employee handbook. They will most likely withhold your last month's salary in lieu of you leaving earlier as well. If you were clear on how long was your notice period, your future company might have offered to pay off for you especially if they need you quickly. But judging on how careful you take things such as notice period and the finer details of things, I doubt it as well.
