i browsed through the thread many times, correct me if i'm wrong here; its best to hand in the resignation letter after we received an offer letter in writing yes?

so what if the future employer is asking when we can join so that they can prepare the letter of appointment then what should you say? fyi, the future employer alredy knew that you need to hand in the standard 1 months notice.

is it safe to give an estimated date?

also is it normal for companies to cover only the employee in group medical? or its old school these days for that and many opt to do the whole family?

yep thats what i did. informed them an estimate date i can join and both parties are happy with it. so now i can just go and tender, finish up my 1 month or so and still a few days to rest get things recharged before getting back to work in the new place.

when we resign, in terms of salary will it be different?

i know it will be passed to us a bit late(cheque or whatever emans) , so does the normal deductions will still be made? (epf, socso, eis) and the income tax will the employer deduct the usual amount or it will be a different calculation?

is it advisable to ignore the given last day service given?

i would like to end it on x date while company says end it on y date. so per say i just left on the date i want and bugger off what happens?

in my contract it doesnt say if i reach a certain seniority level i need to serve more days.

a) for sure i think they wont pay me.
b) legal or such?


in my view i already done my part in giving in the notice so probably i would end it on the date i want. i did think of resigning on 24hrs notice before giving my 1 month notice.

im over my probation period already. and yeah im leaving the industry all together. it made me think tho since a fellow colleague did resign on short notice (24hrs) and when a new manager came in after a year or so he resigned, they just rehired him back on the basis that the product line just got awarded some new contracts.

so imo, my hr is kind of a whack and it depends on how much the manager wants someone no matter the past record.

double post. anywho i already got my answer. my HR and manager agreed to release me early as per the date i want.

I got a question. is it legal for a employer to terminate an employee just because they had an interview with another company? simply put just having a thought of moving to another job. can you punish someone to the point of terminating them? i think its against the law, and unethical.

And to throw in some clarity, there are no rules within this companies rule book stating that you cant go find another job, attend interview or even have thoughts of leaving.

for one i do know or you can say 100% sure that "employment-at-will doctrine" is not practiced or applicable in malaysia. the company

whats your opinion on this matter?
