Hi all,

I have a situation where I’m not sure whether I should continue to fight for my resignation date. I need your advice.

I had tendered my resignation letter on 28/4, I have to serve 3 months’ notice.

My new employer is willing to buy out my 1 month notice so my resignation date should fall on 27/6 (Buy out from 28/6 – 27/7).

However, my current employer insisted that 27/6 is a Public Holiday and the buy out should start from 24/6 instead, which is more than 1 month. In other words, I have to pay for notice in lieu for 24/6 – 27/6 on my own.

Is this a normal practice by HR? Is there anything I can do about it? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I still have few days AL but I'm planning to encash them.

I checked with my HR, my company practice is buy out start on the day after my last physical working day in the company. Anyway, I changed my last working day to mid-week, so I still get paid over the weekend and PH.
