actually it depends to your superior la,normally is one month notice,some are 2 weeks notice,some even set a date for you to leave.

you are dead wrong. Most companies nowadays especially MNCs nowadays need 2 months notice after confirmation. Some even 3 months. Those are not even contract and most are executive levels. Lower than that...I think maybe still 1 month but hey...let's do a poll.

Hi.. i am still in my probation period and im pissed of with the company already. I suppose to give a 2 weeks notice for probation, but i think i want to chaw juz like that after my last salary bank in..LOL

did u think the company will sue me?

I don't think so. Unless you hold very important position in the company and they are likely to get a lot of compensation out of you after winning the court case.

But of course, your name will be blacklisted. If your potential employer call your current company for references, the HR or your manager will most likely bad-mouth you.

Thanks for the reply, now i feel a bit confident..

ya for sure they will talk bad about me later. but i think i'll not put it in my experience list since i only work there estimately 3 month. It'll not effect much in my future employment. Plus i dont think my position in the company is important since i only a fresh graduate and enter the company juz 3 month. I hope all my estimation is correct. I'll ciao next week and hope everything is going to the plan...

Now i think i'll give them 24hours notice instead of juz quitely run away.huhu.. what do you think?

Guys I facing a some issue here~~~~

Last week I give resign letter to the HR department and I want to resign within 24hours.Due to some private issues I have to leave the company in 24 hours. The problem is when I give the resign letter ,they said I need to pay back the remaining salary because of insufficient notice. They asked me to sign a letter which is the amount I need to pay but I refuse. The HR then dun accept my resignation letter and ask me to continue to work.

I talked to my superior and my superior told me you wan to resign then just AWOL for 2 days.No need pay back and anything.I follow his advice and now I'm quite worried,will they send a letter for compensation or sue me for breach of contract?

I knew that I AWOL just like tat,will be blacklisted,I don't worry the blacklisted thing cuz I don't want to work on tat field anymore.......so guys and gals can give some advice?


My salary is very low 1.5k only~~~

life will be miserable if ppl like this existed

u're making lots of hassle to the HR department yet most of u think is fine to just leave like this? no wonder labour law was provided to be lenient to assholes like u ppl

if u neva like the job and the salary was low shouldnt take the offer at first rather than complaining it now

Seriously, important or not - one must always have work ethics. Sometimes we really can't blame employers for being strict due to cases like these. Perhaps something bad happened and you're really angry at your company right now but serving your remaining time after resignation is the right thing to do.

If it's one month notification, just do it. If you think you can't bear with the company, what makes you think it's not the same for the company?

Whatever grudge you have, keep it in. Act mature and serve your period.

It has nothing to do with low salary. Just serve your notification period and be gone with it. Private reason or not, they do not care - unless the HR gives you exception.

But I guess nothing works now since you actually went AWOL. If you're going to be worried now, why do it in the first place?

I suggest now you just sit back, wait and see whether HR will issue you the letter. If they do, then pay up. Otherwise you're lucky. You said you're not worried about being blacklisted but I can tell you it's a small world. You'll never know when or where you might bump into ppl from the company who knows about your issue and attitude.

Take it as a lesson and don't ever repeat it. I really don't understand what is so hard about serving the remaining period. If it's up to an unbearable extent, just pay up and be gone with it. Don't leave behind a bad name.

The next thing you'll hear from your superior, you'll be jumping off KLCC for no bloody good reason. I assume you are very young and just started to work. My advice is: whatever thing that you do, you are held accountable for your own action(s). Please learn accountability and don't be hasty next time. Why would you want to leave all of a sudden? Did your pet dog died or something?

Regards, Joey

p.s: Things could have been better for you if you only knew how to smart talk to the HR Department.

I think is better refer the letter 1st,otherwise if the company bring tis to court lagi susah!

Unless,ur fren's future employer willing to "buy him off" by paying his 2 months salary to his current company lar.

Always remember,if wanna resign....resign like a hero,not a coward!

Hurm.. in my case.. the company already breach "half" of the contract terms. They said in contract i'll be working in office hours and mayb sumtimes if urgent matter, i need to backup support(work in shift).

But nowadays for my 4th month, i oredi work 100% shift without any 'urgent' matter. I have send a complain letter to HR, but no action taken. So i think i need to do sumting about this. Thats why i come up with a 'resign' plan..LOL

what u guys think?

Maybe you'd want to lodge some more complain (and keep complaining) until HR cannot ignore the issue anymore and takes action.

In any case, I still think "walking out" before serving your period after resignation should not be done. The company may have wronged you, but this is not a 'good revenge'.

Do the right thing and do as what you have agreed to. Just leaving like that shows how immature you are in handling your own responsibilities. If everyone can just leave whenever they want, why bother with contracts? Can the company stop paying you when they feel like it?

There are ways to handle all situations but leaving just like that is just wrong.

Dear all, just share some small issue within current company.

I enter currect company as fresh grade~
I signed a contract that required 3 months notice to resign.

Huh~ I really signed it~ damn stupid~ even though I was given 21 days of annual leave per year~ which meant I much at least keep 20 days of leave in order to deduct 1 month notice = balance 2 months notice to resign (as per normal company contract)

Aih..recently a new comer just enter current company for half year & just confirmed. I was told by him that he just need 2 months notice to resign~

Oh~..it's not fair.....after that I just realized he discussed with his superior & HR regarding this issue , after that HR just change it to 2 months notice for him ONLY~

I'm damn stupid, because I do not negociate with them at the 1st place.

Remark:

1 yr ago I was under different company owner~

This new guy is enter under previous owner but he was confirm (passed the probabtion period recently) under new owner~ I think this also 1 of the reason Y he ables to negociate with the HR & superior.

Any comment on this issue?

Any1 here need 3 months notice to resign too?

My company still don't have news for BONUS & INCREMENT ! =_=

No comment to the issue above. Yes. There are people who are bounded by 3 (three) months notice period.

Depster666 has given good points and facts. Good advices were given.

Just want to give more advice:

a) World is small. Unless you choose not to work in the same industry. One day, you may meet your peers in new company for interview. A bad impression is given, it will be there forever.
b) Nowadays, major recruitment portal allows employers to leave remarks. Hence, if someone leaves without sufficient notice, his/her cv in the job portal probabky will be marked as well.

The worse scenarios:

i) The employer has the right to sue based on the law.
ii) Once the employer get the judgement, the company is entitled for damages + 8% annual interest + legal costs. A RM 2,000 monthly salary may end up as RM 20,000 in total excluding your own lawyer fees for defending. This information, usually, will be in the credit report.

So, listen to Depster666 before any regret.

yeah.. thx guys.. now i think i'll follow the notice period. I've read my contract, i can give 2 week notice in my probation but still need to pay back the "training cost" RM 3500. But i dont really think i've been training for anything worth RM3500. Thats make me feel i've been cheated.

Should i argue with this?.. from what i know, if we serve the noticed period correctly, possibly we doesn't need to pay any compensate rite?

under what condition do you have to pay back the RM 3.5k training compensation? If it says - if you resign within 1st year of your service with the company, then you're entitled to pay back if you leave in the first 12 months. Doesn't matter how much you think the training is worth - problem is you've signed it and currently bound by it.

If you have tendered in accordingly, why on earth you would want to compensate them? Is there any documents that you have signed for the "alleged" training as mentioned? Ask them to provide you documented proof.

Regards, Joey

usually they wont .. but they would scare him like giving him a lawyer letter... since his salary and position is not high. As what others say its a bad impression given and words spreads. The best thing i can think of is to sit down and talk to your manager/ HR manager to work out a repayment plan. Usually they would cut it to 1 month only. Be nice and sincere with them. Most would appreciate it and.. do a proper handover with sign off. so this way you proved that you had done your part. 1 important point get all your dues first b4 u go.. salary collected,bonu, claims and ect.. good luck
