Sorry, disturb again. I have  a colleague that resigned last year. He was informed to leave immediately after they found out he will be going to a competitor though he had informed company that he will be serving full 3 months notice. End of day, he told me he decided to just leave without compensation. Question is can the company actually force employee leave early without even compensation (legally). For this colleague, he told us that he does not want to make a big deal,hence he just left after all handover without getting any compensation at all. but he is management level so i guess that amount of compensation might not be such a big deal for him

So, if let's say I resign (no job offer yet) and told company that i will be serving the full 3 months as stated in contract but instead they tell me to leave immediately? According to my research, company should compensate full 3 months of salary + annual leave balance. What if they do not want to compensate and insist i leave as soon as complete document and company belongings handover? What are the steps or procedure that I should do/prepare?

Please help as I plan to tender soon but fear if the same thing happen to me like mentioned above but of course in my case not joining any new company yet. Of course, this might not happen but I want to be prepared.

Thank you
