Apni Law Staff asked 2 years ago
I put in my papers on August 10th, but my company wants me to work the full 45-day notice period or pay a penalty. I’m willing to pay, but they still won’t let me leave before August 31st. I’ve accepted a new job that starts on August 19th. What should I do? Will I face any legal issues if I join the new company before completing my notice period? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Under Indian law, your employer can enforce the 45-day notice period and you may be liable for the penalty. However, you can try negotiating with your current employer to reduce the notice period, citing your new job start date. If they refuse, you may have to pay the penalty and face potential legal action from your current employer.
