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?

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?

Thanks! Any idea about the bond? Anyone?

Logically I think it's fine, tendering is just an advanced notice, by the time I served the notice I would've completed the bond. Just need confirmation from experts or anyone from HR here. Don't want to ask my own HR because I haven't tendered yet.

Can we pay 2 months salary and just quit the next day?

My employment contract will be ending on the 31st Oct 2013.
According to my contract, I need to provide a 2 months notice.
Is is possible for me to tender my resignation on the 31st Aug 2013?
Or after my contract ends as it stated that I can't resign within the contract period.
Thank you.

Hi, may i know the resignation letter should be given to my shift manager or HR? Then, should be send by email or print out the hardcopy for both HR and shift manager?

Hi Faylo,

i have a similar problem with you. HR want to me to pay them 60k++ because i breach the contract.

After I signed the agreement, the HR didn't provide the training. Last thing i know i still bonded with them.

They put "subject to change clause" in the agreement. the agreement was totally berat sebelah.

I already working nearly 4 month in my current job, the salary on time and their pay EPF,SOCSO.
But, I never sign any offer letter or any other letter from this company,
if I want to quit, can just I give 24 hour notice resign letter?
Do this company can sue me or anything?

example lets say in employment contract state that " you'll be getting salary rmxxxx and 13th month annual wage supplement".. been working 3 years, if tender resignation on 5th dec and serving 1 month notice, did he entitled for the so called '13th month salary'? thanks in advance..

I'm not gonna do that, just want to know.

So any legal action can be taken by employer to me?

But one previous  employee just give just 24 hour notice to quit.

I get another offer from new company. Let say if im resign. Is it necessary for me to show my offer letter or need to tell my current company which company i will go?

I have a question,

Say that your employment contract states that your notice period by both parties is 3 months but the company has agreed to give an early release  by just serving till end of the 1 out of 3 months. Does the company have to pay the other 2 months wages in lieu ? And if it does can you bring this up with them after say 2 months of leaving the company ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Just wondering, if i'm being offered a buy out of 1 month out of my 3 months notice period...do i need to state i'm only serving 2 months notice due to buy out in my resignation letter?

Hi everybody! This is my first post here (and I really hope I chose the right section for my following problem).
I'm not from Australia, however, after a brief google research this forum seemed like a good idea.

Long story short: I'm in real need of an objective advice in regard to the following problematic working issue:

I work for about 3 years in a company where the boss (he) is romantically involved with a coworker (she).

My boss grants me trust in handling my tasks, appreciates the work I do (he is pretty much a good manager). His "secret" relationship with this woman is the problem: due to this, she can be a "dictator" (shout, treat the other coworkers like trash ..., makes people cry/ full of anxiety).

Today, her "being her" almost made me quit. I left earlier (excusing myself that I wasn't feeling good) just to calm myself and not say in her face the truth.

My problems:
1. Every time I want to complain to my boss about how she behaves he says "That's the way she is... ", or avoids the subject. She managed to convince him to fire two other colleagues that "undermined" her ...
2. I like what I do and my colleagues (her ... less) but I can't go on working with her.

So, I can't expect a solution from my boss nor continuing to ignore her behavior.

Should I write my resignation and "thank my boss and colleagues for the great period spent there?"

Hi all,

So I have a basic question. What is the meaning of 'pay in lieu of notice'. Ok the situation was my resignation notice should be 1 month but I requested to end it 1 week earlier and served only 3 weeks notice. HR did calculated for me the amount that will be deducted from my salary which I was aware of and have no problem with that.
So I guess I will have only 3 weeks salary coz they deducted the 1 week short notice. But it happened that they deducted the 1 week short notice from the 3 weeks salary. So its like twice deduction to my salary for the 1 week short notice. I thought I will be getting full 3 weeks salary since they deducted the 1 week already. When I called the HR said thats how the thing work.salary is salary and short notice is short notice. Though I still couldn't accept the answer due to the fact that they deducted twice of my salary.

Just to make thing clear here, is that how it should be done?

Hello guys. I would like to seek for advice here for my scenario.

As I know probation notice period is 24 hours. Urgently need advices thank you!

Guys, can you give me advise on this situation ;

I am serving three months notice of resignation and HR already accept but they gonna hold my monthly salary until I complete all clearance form, surrender all employee n vehicle pass and pay the bond amount of 50k.

Note that I still serving the company for the coming three months

Q) is it legal my employer hold my three months salary becoz of this ? I think this is breach of contract by employer since I still coming n working @ office

Thanks for reply.

However, do they have right by law to hold my monthly salary until I fully paid the bond amount ?

Im still thinking by right Bond is separate subject against monthly salary.
