RadX Moderator May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 Dear MCFers Need advice on notice period... is it normal for Sg companies to cut short the notice period once you tender resignation? eg a person's notice period is 3 months. The moment he tendered, the company let him go within a month on grounds that he could be joining competitor, his heart is not in it, etc etc even though the guy is willing to go through the 3 months (during which time he will also clear outstanding leave). if u in sensitive areas, and perhaps backend, they can do that. They duwan u to sabo, etc. In fact, once u tender, evening, u no access to e-mail. Best to check and archive whatever before u hand in letter. They may ask you dun come in next day, hand in laptop, and byeeeeeeee my line no problem, i cannot take my work home....duwan to also if i could ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 The only companies that wants their employees to serve/complete the full term are located at those 'Red' numbering houses in Geylang Lorongs 16 ~ 22. If employees leave early, will affect businesses ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeniz Turbocharged May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 2 persons from our company recently resigned. They are at the same level and are required to give 2 months' of notice according to the original contract. The first one served the full 2 months and was not allowed to clear leave throughout the period. The second person was allowed to leave earlier as he was joining a competitor.

Will u guys let the current employer knows that you are gonna join a competitor? Or can give it as an excuse to get early release Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5266 Supercharged May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 what i though, if the offer from other company is really better, i will just pay off the balance. no point holding back a better offer because of 3 month salary. You are the MAN! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Companies who exercise the above have really incompetent HR. What is the point of tying up notice to 3 months when actually you end up releasing him and pay him? INCOMPETENCE!!! Seen too many incompetent HR to know how stupid they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one served the full 2 months and was not allowed to clear leave throughout the period. The second person was allowed to leave earlier as he was joining a competitor. Depending on the job scope and position, I think the 3-month notice is to deter you from resigning and make you pay back thick-thick should you want to leave early. Then again it could also be to facilitate the handling/taking over process. I do find it strange that your colleague was allowed to leave early knowing that he is joining a competitor. If joining a client, that I undetstand. I remembered some of my sub-contractor friends were made to wait in the factory for 1-month without any benefits for being retrenched.
