Can company change terms to serve notice period during employment
17-May-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I want to resign from current job immediately but my company wants me to serve notice period of 90 days as per the policy of the company which was revised few months ago. When i have joined the company offer letter contains 30 days notice period. I want to know that can anybody compel a person to do the job and can company change the policy of notice period which is against the employee without obtaining specific approval. Can you give a reference of case law or any Act to support my view.
Any change in service conditions is to be made only after giving the employees so affected by such change at least three weeks notice. This is provided in section 9A of the ID Act. Certainly any service condition changes following an award of the court or settlement shall be binding as provided in the said settlement or award. If any company want to change the notice period from one month to two or three months, it can do so but not for the existing employees but for new joinees only. No change in contract of employment which will make the employees feel uncomfortable can be made without giving the employees an opportunity to assess and evaluate the situation. But at the same time, a service term which is more favourable to the employees can be implemented for which the law will always support the employer.
