Thanks guys.

What about if I need 3 months notice, and still got 30 days leave to clear, any chance the company can ask me to fullfil 3months notice and pay me back in $$ for my leaves?

Yes they can do that. The chances depend on your company's need for man power at that time.

3 months notice, and 1 months leave included in the 3 months lor.. depending on yr company, most likely they will give u the leave to save their money.

hi guys,

normally once we tender our resign letter, if let's say your boss / colleagues would like to know where is your next company, what will you tell them if you do not wish to let them know?

I will usually tell them but not in a sour grape manner. Sometimes bosses just want to wish you well. If you dont want to tell them then find a way to say it diplomatically.

let say your new company willing to pay to the current company so you can start early, what is the normal process?

do the new company will settle the payment by contacting your HR? or they will hand you money (or cheque?) and you pay to the current company?

just tendered my resignation. Have to serve one month notice, but I requested if I can be released asap...and they said can leave by today

Cutejams,
Are you responding to Johnjenin or you are asking a question?

Johnjenin,
In most cases the HR will talk to each other and settle the payment.

how if 1 serve for 2days and decide to leave the company? can he just leave even the appointed letters wrote 2 weeks notice..

There is no need to give reason. I never did.

Pay them 2 weeks pay. You can negotiate with the company to waive the payment.

lol ....

Not everyone can live life like in the movies ....

Hi guy, i have question.

My company annual leave follow calender year like normal...entitlement was 22 days per year...
let say if i am resign today (1 dec 2010) and serving 3 months notice, will i still entitle for full 22 days of annual leave for next year 2011?

For year 2011 you have 4 days (2/12 *22) prorated for 2 months.

Hi guys, need some feedback from you guys:-

I have resigned from my current company (Company A) and would need to serve 2 months notice period. Fortunately or rather unfortunately, my "potential" future employer (since I have not signed the letter of offer yet) want me to start work with them in 1 month time and they are willing to pay off the remaining 1 month notice.

The potential future company (Company B) want me to sign the letter of offer stating I will start work with them 1 month later. Once it is sign then they will proceed to negotiate with Company A's HR to buy me out and they say Company A's HR have no choice but to let me go. Is it true?

Now here are some of the dilemma:-

1. Can I sign the new letter of offer stating I will start work in 1 month time when in actual fact I am not even sure whether Company A will let me go? What if they don't accept the buy out since Company A REALLY require the manpower but I already sign the letter of offer.

2. Is it legally alright if I sign the letter of offer which state I am starting the work on a date when I should still be serving notice period? Because on my current letter of employment, an employee must pay full attention to the current job and can't be working on other jobs. So if I sign, there will be like 1 month I can be considered as an employee for both Company A and Company B. That is like holding 2 jobs at once IF the buyout is not successful.

3. What IF the buyout is not successful? Will the offer letter from Company B void since I am unable to start on the stated date?

I would also do not want to burn bridges with Company A's bosses but Company B's job offer is something I really really want. However Company B could not wait for me, hence they are willing to buy me out. But buying out will definitely affect my relationship with my current bosses.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Yes. It is true. Your point 1-3 is not valid given that this is true.

Thanks

Wow I didn't know. I always thought that no matter what, I have to serve the notice period and it is up to my current company to let me go or not. Is like a willing seller only then you can buy. Many thanks for your clarification faceless!
