Hi all:
I have been offered a 12-month contractual basis position at a company. But should I not complete the full length of my contract i.e. resign, then I have to reimburse the company for the remaining number of days or weeks or months in my contract. But what if I were to resign early. say the first week? Must I also reimburse the company?
Other options include purposely wanting the firm to terminate me so that I can exit early.
Appreciate it. Many thanks.

I wrote a resignation letter to my recruitment agent that I cannot continue my work due to personal problem.

I do not sign the offer letter/contract and I only worked for 5 days, is that ok just to resign immediately ?

who is paying your salary/offer letter, recruitment agency or company?
if its company then the recruitment agency need to find a replacement as they assure 2 months.

I have a question here.here is my situation,i need two weeks notice(means 10 working days) and currently i have 7 days annual leave.meaning i have to work for another 3 days to the company if they approve my annual leave?

i have issue here. I tendered my resignation to my boss, but he does not accept my resignation. i insisted to resign, however i tendered. but how can i ensure i can safely leave the company after serving 3 months notice? he did not give me any release letter nor acknowledge my tender? what should i do?

Some companies do not accept annual leave to offset resignation notice. Please check


Did you send the letter to HR dept?

So how do u handle the short notice of 5 days?
I'm in the same position like u now.. really in dilemma whether I should tell them the real reason or not.. n' worried whether they will accept the short notice due to buyout..

I wanna get some advise here,

I work for my company more than 5 years. Recently i just pass my resignation letter to my HR dept, notice is 2 months earlier.. on 01/01/2013, i pass my letter and my resignation date is 01/03/2013... what my question is, i want to clear all me annual leave before leave my company.. i still have about 16 days annual leave... i plan to clear it off (plus my 2 off days per week) so i cant stop working before CNY. But the HR mention that they have RIGHT to not approved my annual days..

It is truth? or i have my rights to clear off all my leave?

Yes they can reject your annual leave. If they do that, they will pay you salary on a prorata basis.

Usually in offer letter or company policy stated they have the right to not approve your annual leave during your notice period. Talk to your boss and try to work it out, keep the good relationship.

hello everyone here, i need some advise here. Last year i have been apply for a job and sighed the letter of appointment. But then i reject it by giving a call to the boss and e-mail. when i sighed the LOA, the company didn't give me a copy, said only give after working. So after that i reject it, kena marah.... ok that it , my mistake in first place. But now they send a lawyer letter of demand to claim $ for failed report to work. In the LOA, it stated need to give 2 months notice or 6 months compensade. But now i haven't work yet! How can i give 2 months notice, sign on 1 jan, start work on 15. It it means tat i need to send a resignation letter before i went to work, then work for 1 and half month to complete the 2 months notice. Ssssssso confuse. i ask so many friends and relative, none of them heard about this matter, anyone here can consult?

Annual Leave (no matter you resigned or not) is subject to management approval. Therefore, the company has the right to request you to work until the last working day.
Whatever annual leave balance, will be paid pro-rated back to you.

First mistake: Whenever you sign an offer letter, you must get a copy of it. Ask them before you sign on the dotted line. If they say need to chop & sign or whatever, just ask them photocopy to you, as you need to get in black and white the basics stuff, such as basic salary, allowances, working hours, MC, AL, termination notice, etc.

Now, they have the offer letter (most likely amended), and you need to give 2 months notice, even during probation. Not much choice you have, except to pay it.

Officially, even before you start work, you need to submit a letter of resignation, if you have signed the offer letter/contract. Then follow up if they need you to come in to serve the notice (2 months). Most of the time, they will not bother to feed you without work for two months and ask you to leave.

Since you did not do the above, they will find loop holes and a lawyer to issue a demand.

Hi There,

I've tendered my 1 month notice to current employer on last 14/2/2013, and at that time the HR and my boss accepted it and they even said congratulations, all the best, etc.

I've also signed the offer letter with the new employee, went for a medical check up, and should report for duty this coming 15/3/2013.

Today I got a call from my current HR and boss that they might need to reject my resignation, as they can't seem to find a replacement yet.

They even said, that in the staff handbook that the employee can't join any other similar business company, within 9 months after resignation.

Things that piss me off now, why bring this matter now. To find a replacement, is the company responsibility.

I'm gonna proceed with joining the new company this 15/3/2013. So do you guys think I will face any problem later? Will my current employer even sue me? I just to tired to think, so if they want to sue me, then I will just face it.

Any comment dear forummers?

Just join your new company and they can't do anything.
How they define similar business company? It is just a bullshit. If I am an auditor, is this means I can't be an auditor for 9 months.

Yes, find a replacement is the company responsibility. As long as you serve your notice period, then you can leave.

Reject resignation?! This is funny, you are not apply a job, it is resignation!!!
Although I feel your HR and boss are stupid to give a such stupid reason, but I suggest you talk nicely with them and sort this out nicely. Just to keep your reputation. Also, try to send email to them and get them reply you in black and white, just in case.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. Similar business as in their competitor company in the same industry.

Just that the possibility for any legal action is there since there's a clause in the employee hand book stated that rules of joining their competitor.

Anyhow, just gonna do what I've planned, proceed with joining the new company. Hope that all will be just fine

Hi, I've been working for nearly 3 years in the same company and am thinking of resigning as quite a lot of good people (the talented ones) in my company suddenly tendered and I have no confidence anymore.

I have to serve 1 month notice... But can I pay this off / pay of in part instead of staying with the company? Cannot tahan d... And rather spend my time looking for new job instead of staying on sinking ship.

Thank you for help!

want to ask. i quit last january and still my employer didn't paid my january salary and its already march. even my epf also they did not contribute. what action can i take here to get my last salary?

for epf i think i will make a report to kwsp. let them suffer as i suffer..

tq

Morning.

My three(3) months contract will end on 31st March 2013.

But I had to leave sooner; seven(7) days notice.

Maybe some of you done it before?

So, can show me a sample of the letter?

Guide me as well.


Let say, my letter stated Monday, 11th March 2013.
Seven(7) days would be Sunday,17th March 2013?

Thank you

Hi guys,

In offer letter it states that I have to provide "at least 2 months notice" if I were to quit. So that mean I can give notice longer than 2 months right?

I plan to start with my new company in July, so I thought I would give them more time to find replacement and handover work.

Also, I'm bonded until end of June, I would be considered to have serve the bond fully right even though I tendered 3 months earlier?

Thanks. Appreciate if anyone with knowledge can enlighten me.
