I see, thanks man for sharing. Will ask around

I have been in my current job for less than a year. Near the end of last year, I was contacted by a recruiter for another company and went to attend the interview.

I've just been contacted by the recruiter who informed me they would like to offer me to join them with a 10% increment from current job. However, they need to conduct background checks and there is one part I may have trouble with, which is that I have a 8-month gap in my employment history due to being retrenched from my first job and I took some time to rest before finding my current job.

I don't have a proper offer letter from the other company yet, only an email summarizing the offer and requesting for documents to submit for the background check. Should I start to discuss with my current manager/team lead about this offer? I plan to accept due to getting to learn new stuff + higher salary.

Prepare the documents and send to the recruiters first. If you didn't lie in your resume, you shouldn't be afraid about background checks.

Never commit to resignation from your current job until you get the offer letter from another company

Thanks, I've gotten the offer letter for now. Will probably discuss resignation from current company after CNY bonus payout, luckily the offering company willing to wait for me.

Need help or sharing from sifus here..

I currently work in an oil & gas MNC, but I am planning to resign because of some family issues and might take about 2 months break after resignation.

My question, is it advisable to do this if I plan to return to O&G field or just engineering field in general? Some of my peers suggested me to find a job first before resigning because a gap in my resume might be a warning sign to potential employers in the future.

I have a little bit more than 3 years experience in this current company, holding different portfolios and worked in different branches.

Thanks in advanced.

if your notice is 2 months and your new company wants to buy out 1 month of your notice,

in this case, how to write your resignation letter?

Still follow your contract, but when you tender you can mention that the potential company is willing to buyout. Then HR will do their thing. No need to mention anything in letter.

Yes noted. I have that drafted in my letter 👍
Thanks!

Hi. Just received an offer pending acceptance. For the resignation clause it states that I should give three months notice or payment in lieu, subject to management's discretion.

I just want to clarify whether anyone here has come across this type of clause before? Normally it's either I serve three months notice or I pay in lieu off service right?

Well I managed to contact HR and she said that it depends on whether the management wants to release me early or not and the decision is "not" up to me whether I want to leave with short notice or serve my notice.

Seems pretty weird imo.

If your future employer willing to buyout, the current company can consider either accept or reject the request as the handover might be tedious and insufficient time for them to take over your task. Some companies does practice that they don't accept buyout even the clause is there.

Can I ask. How should be the salary calculated if the last day working is 15 march 2019? It isn't half of the basic salary ?

Not necessarily, depending on your company. Some calculated base on 26 days, some calculated on 24 days. Correct calculation should be;

(1 full month salary / total days [company's decision]) x total working days.

Letter of resignation should pass to HR right? or to the superiorr? ayam considering resign

Hard copy 1 to your immediate superior, 1 to HR.

guys, having a situation here, need some HR experts to give suggestion on this:

- a probationary staff is resigning before the confirmation commences
- company intends to confirm the staff but staff decides to resign before confirmation
- staff asking if annual leave encashment is included upon resignation
- company policy mentions only confirmed staff is entitled for annual leave
- staff insists on pro-rated annual leave encashment even to resign during probation period

based on Employment Act 1955, it didnt mention whether confirmed or probationary staff is entitled for annual leave.. so isit depend on company policy to decide on this matter?

so if the staff bring this to labour court to challenge, what will be the outcome?

appreciate if experts here can share their knowledge on this..

Refer to the offer letter. It usually will mention how the leave entitlement will be available.

But for most cases, during probation all leaves taken is considered no pay leave. Only to be reimburse when you are a confirmed staff. I don't think the probationary staff will stand a chance to win the case.

thanks for your valuable input

hi guys, need your opinion here. I will be signing offer letter on 9 May, hence planning to resign on 9 May itself. Given current company required a month notice period, my last day should be 9 June.

My question is, since 9 June falls on weekend, will current company request me to extend my last day to 10 June?

Normally they won't. Your "unofficial" last day at office will be on the 7th of June.

Try to renegotiate with your new employer to start a week later. If can't also nevermind cause your existing company will expect you work to the closest Friday if your last day falls on a weekend.
